Summary: A prism of cat cerebral cortex was reconstructed with a method for three-dimensional (3D) representation of biological objects. A series of 918 semithin sections were digitized into an image analysis system. The images were aligned and analyzed, and a data base with the coordinates and a classification of the cells was created. The data base (i.e., the cortical prism) was visualized in a 3D graphic terminal, and parameters such as columnar and lamellar organization, clustering, and cell density were analyzed. A neuronal perikaryon and its neurites was reconstructed and shown together with the cortical prism. (Copyright 2004 ScienceDirect)
