[The cytoarchitectonic characteristics of the frontal fields of the brain in gifted people]

Journal/Book: Morfologiia. 1996; 109: 7-9.

Abstract: Frontal area fields 8 and 47 were studied in gifted people of different age using series of frontal paraffin slices. Neuronal parameters were detected. Density of localization was determined in neurons and gliocytes including perineuronal ones and also in lipofuscin, containing neurons and those surrounded with satellite gliocytes. Relation of the latter to general number of pyramidal neurons in layers 3 and 5 of cortical fields (index HC/C) was defined so as the thickness of cortex and its certain layers. Brain of the same age common people served as the control. The sum total of characters determined (both general and individual) and especially the neuroglial system state (more than double increase against the control with HC/H index) exceeds both age and individual variability and is probably typical for the frontal area of exceptionally gifted people and is not dependent on age and type of brightness.
