[Development of neuron-capillary interrelationships in the nuclei of the anterior portion of the human hypothalamus during ontogenesis].

Three periods in the formation of the spatial arrangement of the neuronal nuclei have been stated: 1) from the prenatal period, infancy including--pronounced decrease in the density of the neuronal cells arrangement; 2) from the childhood up to adolescence--relative stabilization in the hypothalamic cellular composition; 3) mature and old age--secondary decrease in the dencity of the neuronal cells arrangement. Certain peculiarities in the nuclear capillary composition and in their neuronal-capillary relationships have been revealed: during the prenatal ontogenesis, the dencity of the neuronal cells arrangement decreases and their size increases that is followed by decrease in their capillary loops. In postnatal ontogenesis no proportional relationship between the dencity of neuronal cells arrangement and that of capillary network in the nuclei of the anterior hypothalamus was noted.
