- The data on general morphologic alterations which take place in human brain corpus mammillare nuclei in late postnatal ontogenesis are presented. Morphological characterization of neuroglial relations and microvessels’ number dynamics in human corpus mammillare nuclei in different age and gender groups are given on the basis of various histological methods. With age manifested involution alterations occur; they are characterized by number diminishment of neurons and microvessels on the background of glial elements’ number increase. For all this mentioned alterations have gender specificity in relation to manifestation and revealing terms; and it allows to doubt the stated opinion that corpus mammillare is the structure which fulfils communicative function exclusively.
