Morphometric comparison of human nerve cells: pyramidal motor system

We compared morphological and morphometric data on various motor neurons in the human pyramidal system using the modified Klüver-Barrera staining method with extremely minimized shrinkage ratio and an image-analyzer. We classified motor neurons in the human pyramidal system into three groups according to the measurement data. This report may be of interest to better understand the process of nerve conduction in the human pyramidal system.
