nervous system
• dramatic decrease in myelination in the anterior commissure
• numerous vacuoles of varying sizes are present
|
• ramification of fine processes looks disorganized
|
• cytoplasm appears smaller and contains less Nissl substance
|
• staining indicates a decrease in total myelination
• decrease in staining intensity is seen in cross-sectioned axons but not longitudinal axon fibers in the anteroventral nuclei
• dramatic decrease in myelination in the anterior commissure
