photomicrographs of sections of the cerebral cortex obtained from the control rats showing a: cerebral cortex covered by pia matter (arrow) and the gray matter with its six layers; the outer molecular layer (I), the external granular layer (II), the external pyramidal layer (III), the inner granular layer (IV), and the inner pyramidal (V) and polymorphic layers (VI). b: layer (I), layer (II) contains rounded granule cells island (*), small pyramidal cells (P), and layer (III) contained medium sized pyramidal cells (thin arrow), some granule cell (thick arrow) and blood vessel (BV). c: layer (II) with rounded granule cell (G), layer (III) with triangular cell shaped pyramidal cells (P), layer (IV) contains granule cells with open face nuclei (arrows). d: internal granular layer with large rounded granule cells (G) had open face nuclei (thin arrows) and the blood vessel (thick arrow) also seen. e: showing layer (V) with large pyramidal cells (P) and layer (VI) contains various sized neurons
