[The developmental characteristics of speech-motor areas 44 and 45 in the left and right hemispheres of the human brain in early postnatal development].

Cytoarchitecture of speech areas 44 and 45 of human brain was studied on frontal series of sections of brain of a newborn, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years old child. Sections were stained with cresyl violet after Nissl. Density of neurons and gliocytes location as well as fraction of satellite gliocytes and surrounded by the latter, glia index were determined by quantitative methods. General principles of cortical areas 44 and 45 were distinguished as well as peculiarities of their formation if left and right hemispheres of human brain in postnatal ontogenesis. Heterochronia of postnatal development of areas 44 and 45 was demonstrated. A hypothesis on different activity of right and left hemispheres speech areas in different periods of speech development of the child was discussed.
