Question

vacuolation in the human cerebral cortex and its relationship to the interval between death and autopsy and to synapse numbers: an electronmicroscopic study

Answer 1

The discussion of vacuolation in the human cerebral cortex and its relationship to the interval between death and autopsy and to synapse numbers: an electronmicroscopic study is written in the paragraph below-

Electron micrographs of material acquired up to 69 hours post-mortem from people with no known neurological abnormalities were used to evaluate vacuolation in the human cerebral cortex resulting from swelling of cell processes after death. Vacuolation was shown to considerably rise up to 30-35 hours after death before declining. The number of discernible synapses decreased significantly along with this alteration, which was likely caused by compression brought on by the vacuolation rather than post-mortem disintegration.

What is cerebral cortex?

The outermost layer of the brain, known as the cerebral cortex, is responsible for our sharpest mental talents. Between 14 and 16 billion neurons can be found in the cerebral cortex, which is predominantly constituted of grey matter (neural tissue made of neurons).
