Figure 2From: Stereological study of the neuronal number and volume of 38 brain subdivisions of subjects diagnosed with autism reveals significant alterations restricted to the striatum, amygdala and cerebellum Delination of the Ammons horn sectors and the posterior portion of the entorhinal cortex. Panel A shows CV-stained hemispheric sections on the level of the hippocampal head (s. 376), body (s. 412) and tail (s. 490). The rectangle in panel A marks an area that was enlarged 5-fold and is shown in panel B. Stereologically examined structures are labeled as: sectors CA1, 2, 3, 4; EC, entorhinal cortex; CN, caudate nucleus; Pu, putamen; GP, globus pallidus; Cl, claustrum; Th, thalamus; and SN, substantia nigra. The subicular complex is labeled as Sub C. Calibration bar length: 10 mm and 5 mm.Back to article page
