[A method of assessing the degree of vertical organization of cerebral cortical structures].

A method of obtaining a comparative quantitative evaluation of the vertical order of neurons in the cerebral cortex structures with the help ofinformational indices of the entropy and organization is proposed. The presence of the vertical column order of neurons is considered as a manifestation of a certain general regularly in the building of neural complexes. The morphological preparation (section) of the definitive process. The scheme of operations with the given record (morphological preparation) in the uork permits obtaining the values of the entropy and organization. In the example of the middle of layer III field 17 and sublayer III2 of layer 18 of the human new cortex it has been shown that the proposed method contributes to revealing the difference in the degree of the vertical order of neurons in these structures.
