Abstract

After application of single gravitational overloadings on the cat brain, perivascular edema, peripheral chromatolysis and cytoplasmic edema in neurons, dendrites and astrocytes have been observed. Some shifts in ultrafine composition of presynaptic buds and vascular walls have been described. Structures of myelin and amyelin fibers are preserved. Ultrastructural reconstructions are expressed differently in different brain structures in connection with their functional differentiation. The reconstructions revealed are of reversible character.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
