[Individual variability of the cytoarchitecture of human brain anterior limbic area 24].

The aim of this research was to detect the major cytoarchitectonical features of individual variability in anterior limbic area 24 in the left and right hemispheres of human brain, using the modern morphometric analysis methods. With the aid of DiaMorph (Russia) software-hardware complex, the neuron profile field area was measured, the percentage of neurons of each dimensional class was calculated, and the total fraction of neurons in layers III and V of subarea 24 in the anterior limbic region of human cortex was defined. A considerable individual variability of these characteristics and the asymmetry of their values between the left and right brain hemispheres were detected. It was found that the largest value and greatest scattering of individual differences of these characteristics took place in the associative layer III of the right hemisphere.
