Document Summary

Stain for the soma of the neuronal cell bodies - look at every single neuron in the brain and localize where it is. Axons are the white matter of the brain because they do not include any soma, lipid is the main component of it. Parietal lobe - somatosensation and motor action, integration of different sensory information temporal lobe - visual (primarily from the occipital lobe) and auditory pathways. Water and lipid are the primary components of the brain tissue. Cerebral spinal fluid is different than the blood - it contains all the ions the neurons need in order to continue generating ap. L1 - has minimal number of soma; most of the space is occupied by axons traveling from elsewhere (most of the time these axons are originating from the frontal area) L4 is the primary input layer of the somatosensory cortex; motor cortex doesn"t have.
