[Glioarchitectonics of the cerebellar nuclei in cows during postnatal development].

In these studies two medullae oblongatae of newborn calves and 4 medullae oblongatae of 4-week-old calves and 1-, 3-, 6-, 10- and 14-year-old cows were used at a time. Paraffin microtome sections cut in the frontal plane were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and after Klüver Barrer's method as well as impregnated after the method of Ramon Moliner, Klatzo and Robain. For the studies there were taken serial sections of the lateral vestibular and medial nuclei, reticular formation, dorsal nucleus of the X nerve and the olive. In the preparations stained by routine methods, morphological features of oligodendrocytes (light, medium stained and dark), astrocytes and microglia cells were described. In post-natal development of the cow variation of the morphological features of astrocytes as well as irregular distribution of the individual forms of microglia cells were found.
