ABSTRACT
The cerebral cortex of mammals is an extremely complex laminated structure on which
Figure 10.1. Nissl-stained sections of the auditory cortex in five representative mammals reproduced at the same magnification. (A) hedgehog, (B) rat, (C) cat, (D) monkey, (E) man. The arrangement in vertical columns is clearly visible in the cat, monkey and man. (F) shows a small sector of the auditory cortex of man showing giant pyramidal cell. Scale bar at the left of F equals 200 µm; scale bar inside F equals 100 µm.
