photomicrographs of sections of the cerebral cortex of reserpine-treated rats showing a: neuronal disorganization of all cerebral cortex layers I, II, III, IV, V and VI. b: loss of architectural details of layer (I), (II), (III), dilated congested blood vessel (thick arrows), degenerative vacuolization (thin arrows) and intercellular edema (*). c: the eosinophilic pyramidal cells (P) with dark stained nuclei (thin arrows), thick tortuous (thick arrows) surrounded with vacuolated neuropil (*). d: degenerated pyramidal cell (P) with pericellular halos (red arrow), pyknotic nuclei (thick arrow) or karyorrhectic (thin arrows) and degenerated neuropil (*). e: internal granular layer with; the degenerated granule cells surrounded by pericellular halos (thin arrow), apoptotic cell with nuclear chromatin lysis (thick arrows) and swollen neuron (red arrow)
