Electron micrographs of the cerebral cortex obtained from the reserpine- treated group showing a: necrotic pyramidal cell (P) with pyknotic nucleus (N), rarified cytoplasm (*), and apoptotic granule cell (G) with small blebs (arrows). b & c: pyramidal cell (P) with karyolissed nucleus (N), vesicular rough endoplasmic reticulum (thin arrows), scanty free ribosomes (R), degenerated mitochondria (M), electron-lucent vacuoles (thick arrow) and rarified cytoplasm (*). d & e apoptotic pyramidal cells with intended oval nuclei (N), chromatin condensation; margination and clumping with electron dense heterochromatin (thick arrow), irregularity of nuclear envelope (thin arrow), in the cytoplasm; lysosomes (L), free ribosomes (R), degenerated mitochondria (M) and distorted rough endoplasmic reticulum (*)
