Abstract

Studies of cognition and memory have found gender differences, but their neuroanatomic substrate is unclear. The aim of our work was to study structural organization of hippocampus of female’s and male brains. By microscopic and morphometric methods there have been investigated peculiarities of size of pyramidal neurons, number of pyramidal neurons and glia in area СА1of female’s and male brains. We have been shown their gender differences and the appearance of different left-right asymmetry. Sex-difference may correlates with peculiarities of cognition and memory of men and women.
