An ontogenetic study of the central nervous system is an important
tool for the under- standing of its morphological and
morpho-functional relations. Numerous qualitative results on the
ontogenesis of the visual system can be found in the literature,
but there are only very few quantitative results fulfilling the
following parameters: (1) samples of sufficient size; (2)
measurements considering results of stereology; (3) evaluation and
interpretation performed with sound biomathematical methods; (4)
quantitative of the shrinkage caused by the histological technic.
The first three results independent demands can be fulfilled by
using available computerized stereological and biomathe- matical
methods (Kretschmann and Wingert, 1968, 1969a, b, c, 1971; Wingert,
1969; Zilies and Wingert, 1972; Zilies et al., 1976a, c, d). The
interdisciplinary cooperation between morphologists and
mathematicians makes possible the analysis of the volume growth,
the number of nerve-and glial cells in a whole brain region
(Schleicher et al., 1975a, b; Zilies and Wingert, 1973a, b; Zilies
et al., 1974, 1975a, b), the semi-automatic analysis of the
nucleolar diameters in nerve cells (Zilies et al., 1976b) and
computer aided compartment analysis with the point- counting method
(Zilies et al., in press b). Tupaia belangeri, an interesting
animal for neurobiologists, was the experimental animal of choice
because it combines the advan- tages of a small brain (conducive to
rapid processing) with many characteristics of the of the primate
brain.
