2021, NeuroImageCitation Excerpt :And the ensuing 8-bit images were transformed into gray level index (GLI) images (Palomero-Gallagher and Zilles, 2018; Schleicher et al., 1999) by means of in-house Matlab scripts. Each pixel in the GLI image represents the local volume fraction of cell bodies in the corresponding measuring field (Schleicher and Zilles, 1990; Wree et al., 1982). Autoradiographs were processed densitometrically using a video-based image analysing technique (Zilles et al. 2002b; Palomero-Gallagher and Zilles 2018).
Differences in cytoarchitecture of Broca's region between human, ape and macaque brains
2019, CortexCitation Excerpt :That means, that areas 44 and 45 show an increasing density of the volume proportion of all cell bodies with increasing brain weight, whereas the other areas show significant, or non-significant trends to an increasing volume proportion of the neuropil which is the space containing myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers, dendrites, processes of glial cells and blood vessels. Thus we conclude, that with increasing brain size also the number of neurons increases since a tight correlation between GLI and number of cells has been demonstrated despite of varying cell sizes (Wree et al., 1982). We could not use the data for visual areas V1 and V2 as reported in the literature (de Sousa et al., 2010) because they are by far higher than any GLI measurement in numerous cortical areas.
