  • Number of efferent fibers terminating in rostral border of nucleus Ruber , was almost two times grater than that in the caudal third. (brainmaps.org)
  • The efferent fibers of the hindlimb area were found not to project to the rostral two thirds of nucleus Ruber , and were found to terminate only in its caudal third. (brainmaps.org)

  • The study aims to evaluate the sexual dimorphism in shape and size of the neurocranium and to compare the potential of shape and size of different cranial regions to classify correctly the male and female crania. (bvsalud.org)
  • The landmarks were arranged in 4 configurations: neurocranium, frontal bone, parietotemporal region, and occipital bone. (bvsalud.org)
  • The parietotemporal region is the most dimorphic neurocranial part in size and the frontal bone is the most differing one in shape. (bvsalud.org)
