Abstract
A quantitative method of estimating the degree of morphological changes in neurons of the CNS is suggested. The following groups of altered neurons are distinguished: a swollen neuron with initial signs of breaking up of tigroid masses, a swollen neuron with marked evidence of breaking up of tigroid masses and initial signs of hypochromatosis, a swollen neuron with total tigrolysis and with hyper- and hypochromatosis, a dehydrated hyperchromic neuron, a vacuolated neuron, a shrunken, atrophic neuron, and a dying neuron. For a more precise and objective assessment of the observed changes, each of these groups is given a certain number of points characterizing the degree of the morphological changes. A formula is suggested for evaluating the degree of morphological changes for different formations and zones of the CNS.
