The distribution of different cell types has been studied in the cat inferior colliculus. Morphometry by point counting on semi thin sections led to calculate SN (surface of nucleus), Sc (surface of cell), SN/Sc. Two cell types (small and large neurons) are found, their distribution delimits three nuclear formations (dorso-lateralis, dorso-medialis, ventralis). Craniocaudaly, the volume of the ventral formation decreases, while the volume of the dorsal-medial formation increases. The dorso-lateral formation remains constant. Thus the pattern of the morphological differentiation is similar to that of the functionnal differentiation.
已经对猫的下丘中不同细胞类型的分布进行了研究。通过在半薄切片上进行点计数的形态测量法来计算SN（细胞核表面积）、Sc（细胞表面积）、SN/Sc。发现了两种细胞类型（小神经元和大神经元），它们的分布界定了三个核团（背外侧核、背内侧核、腹侧核）。从颅尾方向看，腹侧核团的体积减小，而背内侧核团的体积增加。背外侧核团保持不变。因此，形态学分化模式与功能分化模式相似。
