[Structural organization of the fronto-parietal area of the sensory-motor cortex of the rat brain].

Organizational peculiarities of the frontal-parietal area of the sensomotor cortex are: parvicellularity, alveolar-like distribution of neurons, radial striation of the lower zone, distinctly manifested stratification of the higher zone in the cortical plate, the middle zones contain short axonal pyramidal, stellate and granular neurons. Formation of somato-somatic contacts is specific for interneuronal interaction. Peculiarity of the normal ultrastructure of the neuronal cytoplasm is presence of 2-4 subsuperficial cisterns in the section. In neuropil, which is presented mainly as axo-spinal assymetrical contacts of the I type after Grey, transversal profiles of tightly arranged and collected in fasciculi finest axonal collaterals and terminal dendritic ramifications are revealed.
