The distribution of mass (BNID 106398) is 81.8% Cerebral cortex: 10.3% cerebellum: 7.8% rest of brain. The distribution of non neuronal cells is 71.9% Cerebral cortex: 19% cerebellum: 9.1% rest of brain. Basal ganglia, diencephalon,
mesencephalon, and pons, are named collectively “rest of brain,”
or RoB. |
