Histological investigation of amygdala in horned and hornless ewes.
Abstract
in hornless ewes. Horned subjects had reduced numbers of neurons, damaged BBB and localized inflammatory areas. More apoptotic neurons were observed in horned ewes. Further studies are needed to determine whether these differences in neuronal density, glial cells, and BBB are acquired (due to trauma) or congenital. The results of this study might need further similar studies to be conducted in the future.
