Caudate nucleus (CN) neurons in camels and humans were examined using modified Golgi impregnation methods. Neurons were classified based on soma morphology, dendritic characteristics, and spine distribution. Three primary neuron types were identified in both species: rich-spiny (Type I), sparsely-spiny (Type II), and aspiny (Type III), each comprising subtypes with specific features. Comparative analysis revealed significant differences in soma size, dendritic morphology, and spine distribution between camels and humans. The study contributes to our understanding of structural diversity in CN neurons and provides insights into evolutionary neural adaptations.
采用改良的高尔基染色法对骆驼和人类的尾状核（CN）神经元进行了研究。根据神经元的胞体形态、树突特征和棘突分布对其进行分类。在这两个物种中均识别出三种主要的神经元类型：多棘型（I型）、少棘型（II型）和无棘型（III型），每种类型又包含具有特定特征的亚型。比较分析显示，骆驼和人类在胞体大小、树突形态和棘突分布方面存在显著差异。该研究有助于我们理解CN神经元的结构多样性，并为进化神经适应性提供见解。
