Sažetak
Tracking of the development and differentiation of the thalamic ventroposterolateral (VPL) area and somatosensory cortex can obtain reliable structural indicators of the thalamocortical system differentiation. Here we study the prospective somatosensory cortex and thalamus in the fetal human brain using histological approach with special emphasis on the qualitative and quantitative developmental changes in VPL nucleus neuronal population. Cytological differentiation of individual perikarya occurs with the penetration of fibers into the CP. The period between 24-26PCW is characterized by rapid differentiation of cytoarchitectonic markers in the VPL territory (percentage of well differentiated perikarya is increased). Our results show that cytoarhitectonic differentiation of the thalamus precedes differentiation of the somatosensory cortex and provide necessary parameters for the study of thalamocortical relationships in both normal and damaged human fetal brains
