[Postnatal histogenesis and cell proliferation in the parietal region of mouse neocortex under normal conditions and following brain injury].

Postnatal histogenesis of the parietal area of the neocortex and proliferative capacity in it of the main cell types were studied in mice under normal conditions and in stab wound of the brain by analysing 3H-thymidine-labeled cells on semithin sections. As revealed, microneurons failed to form in the parietal cortex of mice during the postnatal period either by migration of undifferentiated cells or by proliferation. Injury of the right hemisphere did not cause any change in the way of histogenetic transformations of cells migrating into the cortex of the parietal area in the direction of their differentiation into microneurons.
