Age features of the morphology of cingulate cortex of the brain of sheep

The limbic system of the brain is represented by the structures of the trunk and terminal brain. There are numerous centers of vegetative reactions. The morphology of individual structures is not well understood in productive animals. The main cortical component of the limbic system is the cingulate gyrus. The cortical centers of food-vascular processes (swallowing, chewing, ruminant, defecation, etc.), urinary and metabolic processes are located in the cingulate cortex. In connection with the relevance of studying the limbic system, we have carried out studies of the morphology of the cingulate cingulate in sheep. The purpose of the study was to study the age characteristics of the lap cortex of sheep. In accordance with the goal, we were assigned the following tasks: to determine the morphometric parameters of the belt gyrus, the furrows of the corpus callosum, the genal, belt and ectogenous furrows; comparison of morphometric parameters in animals of one, two and four years. The studies were carried out at the Department of Physiology, Surgery and Obstetrics, at the Scientific Diagnostic and Treatment Veterinary Center of the Stavropol State Agrarian University and at private farms of the Stavropol Territory and the Republic of Kalmykia. We used morphometric and statistical research methods. The morphometric parameters of the belt spleen, the furrow of the corpus callosum, the genal, belt and ectogenous furrows were determined. The morphometric data of the limbic cortex of sheep of one, two, and four years are presented. A comparative analysis of indicators in ewes and sheep of different age groups was carried out. It was revealed that in rams, the stabilization of morphometric parameters occurs by two years, in tsatsov rats - by four years.
