Applicability of image analysis of neurons and neuroglia of fundus striati using cell profiler software

The cellular composition of human nervous tissue comprises of three basic cell types: neurons, neuroglia and endothelial cells. The number, density, volume and morphology of neurons and neuroglia correlate with changes with brain function.2 Caudate nucleus and Globus pallidus of Lentiform nucleus together are termed as Corpus striatum. The island of striatum caudal to anterior limb of internal capsule which is a connecting bridge between caudate nucleus and globus pallidus is termed as Fundus striati. It comprises of small and large sized neurons and splintering fibre bundles.3 One of indigenous part of fundus striati is nucleus accumbens. This area has island of small sized neurons with dopaminergic 3 receptors. This area has been extensively studied for interaction of antipsychotic drugs and drug abuse due to its conundrum with amygdale.4
