CEREBRAL CORTEX. NEUROGLIA. 97 



a successfully stained pyramidal cell. Note its shape and 

 processes. (H) The chief dendritic process is apical which 

 runs to the periphery, giving off short lateral branches and 

 terminating fanwise near the periphery. Lateral processes 

 come off the cell body itself. A thin axon courses centrally, 

 and gives off collaterals. The cells of the polymorphic or 

 fourth layer are small and have few dendrites and a fine 

 peripheral axon. Fine vertical filaments unconnected with cells 

 are also to be noted. 



Neuroglia cells are scattered in the cortex, the body is 

 small and emits numerous delicate branching processes.
