MORPHOFUNCTIONAL CHANGES IN THE NEURONAL ENVIRONMENT IN SUICIDE

The topic of the development of suicidal behavior has remained relevant for many years. Every year there are more and more reports of new morphological changes in brain tissue. The presented analytical review of the literature concerns the state of the issue of studying the morphology of macroglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and the blood-brain barrier in suicide. Determining the characteristic morphology of death due to suicide can potentially become an evidence base for confirming or excluding factors of suicide development when assessing the causes of death. Further research is needed to form a clearer picture of the changes in relation to the practice of forensic medical examination.
