[Functional morphology of the hypothalamus in cardiovascular pathology].

A morphologic study of the hypothalamus in the presence of various cardiovascular disorders has demonstrated discirculatory processes involving the microcirculatory network and resulting in the death of individual neurons. The number of disintegrating neurons is dependent on the pattern of the disease. Pathogenetic features of the disease are accompanied with changes in mean neuronic karyon volume that reflect variations in hypothalamic nuclear activity.
