| Method |
The volume of area 17 was measured with the basic volume estimator
for systematic sampling (Uylings et ai. 1986). Every fifth
section was drawn with the aid of a camera lucida device, followed
by computer-assisted measurement of cross-sectional area. Values of the uncorrected volume of area 17 were multiplied
by the mean neuronal density measured in the same hemisphere
when available, in order to calculate the total number of neurons. In
most cases, researchers used the estimations of neuronal numerical density
already published (Leuba and Garey 1987 PMID 3583841), and estimated four additional
adult cases with the same method. |
