The rapid Golgi method was employed to study area 17 of infant squirrel monkeys in order to obtain quantitative data on the number and laminar origin of axon collaterals of pyramidal cells, the somata of which reside in laminae II-III. Counts of axon collaterals were made only on pyramidal cells with apical dendrites that could be followed by lamina I and axons that could be followed to the white matter. A total of 115 pyramidal neurons met these criteria. The data revealed that the descending axons of pyramidal cells in laminae II-III give off an average of 3 collaterals in laminae II-III and 3 collaterals in lamina V; no collaterals are given off in other laminae.
采用快速高尔基方法研究幼年松鼠猴的17区,以获取有关锥体细胞轴突侧支的数量和层状起源的定量数据,这些锥体细胞的胞体位于第II - III层。仅对那些顶树突可追踪到第I层且轴突可追踪到白质的锥体细胞进行轴突侧支计数。共有115个锥体细胞符合这些标准。数据显示,第II - III层锥体细胞的下行轴突在第II - III层平均发出3个侧支,在第V层发出3个侧支;在其他层不发出侧支。
