LOYNAZ FERNANDEZ, Clara Silvia et al. Estudio morfométrico del encéfalo por tomografía axial computadorizada en enfermedades neurológicas. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2001, vol.20, n.3, pp. 184-191. ISSN 1561-3011.

Since the middle of the last century, the study of the human encephalon morphology has been of great interest for the researchers. With the introduction of the computerized axial tomography in 1974, it was possible to expand the knowledge about this area and at the same time provide information on the structural lesions that are pathologies of great psychosocial repercussion like epilepsy and Parkisonism. This paper used 90 tomographic studies on people aged 20-80 years. A series of linear measurements were made and statistically processed. The results showed variations in linear measurements among control, epileptic and Parkisonian subjects
