The inferior olivary complex /

This monograph reports on the detailed morphology of the inferior olivary complex in representatives of submammalian and mammalian vertebrates, including human. The authors provide qualitative and quantitative analysis using Nissl-stained, Golgi-impregnated, GFAP-,CABA-, and parvalbumin-immunostaine...
