Abstract
The most important transient structures in human brain are the lateral ventricle eminences, or ganglionic eminences (eminentia ventricularis lateralis), the ventral part of germinal matrix. We performed quantitative analysis of the lateral ventricle eminences to clarify the spatial and temporal dynamic of the human prenatal brain development. Serial brain sections from 9 human fetuses at gestational weeks 12-30 were examined using a morphometric method. The volume of ganglionic eminences increased during the first and early second trimesters, reached maximum at weeks 20-21, and then gradual involution of the ventral germinal matrix was observed. The obtained data are comparable with the results from noninvasive imaging techniques, but have a higher resolution.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
