Myeloarchitectonics is a method by which we study the structure of cortical areas of the brain. This method monitors the distribution and course of myelinated nerve fibers in the cerebral cortex. Fibers perpendicular to the surface of the cerebral cortex are referred to as radii (they reach up to the third layer of the cerebral cortex), fibers parallel to the surface of the cortex are called striae (they occur in different densities). The myeloarchitectonics of the cerebral cortex is best stained by the luxol blue. With myeloarchitectonics, we display the cerebral cortex with five strips and one ray.
Cerebral cortexExner strip - in the area of the arachnoid and pia mater
Bechtěrev's strip - in the area of the lamina molecularis
external Baillarger strip - in the area of the lamina granularis interna
internal Baillarger strip – in the area of the lamina pyramidalis interna
Meynert's strip - in the area of the lamina multiformis
fibrae radiales – extend up to the 3rd layer, perpendicular to the surface of the cortex
