Gender structure features of the prefrontal cortex men and women

The aim of the study was to research gender peculiarities of citoarchitecture of prefrontal cortex of men's and women's brains. Research were carried out on 4 male brains and 5 female brains in age from 19 to 33 yers. By microscopic and morphometric methods there have been investigated peculiarities of the structural organization and the neuro-glial relationships of area 10 of prefrontal cortex. We found larger sire of pyramidal neurons in layer III of cortical area 10 of men's brains in comparison with female brain. There is more big percentage of large and medium neurons in layer III of cortical area 10 of men's brains than in comparison of female brains. It was established right-hemisphere asymmetry of many cytoarchitectonical sygns of men brains. In female brains is was shown larger thickness of layer III, larger density of glia cells neurons, surrounded glia. In women's brains it is established left-asymmetry of many cytoarchitectonical sings.
