[Comparative morphometric study of sensory neurons of the cerebral and spinal cord ganglia following transection of their processes].
The morphometrical study of sensory neurons g. nodosum of the vagus nerve and spinal ganglia after transection of central and peripheral processes has established similar reactions of the neurons of these ganglia. The sensory neurons respond to the transection of peripheral processes by phenomena of retrograde degeneration. No retrograde degeneration was observed in the neurons after transection of central processes. The diminution of the size of the nerve cell bodies, their nuclei and nucleoli was noted at the period of maximally pronounced phenomena of retrograde degeneration as well as fragmentation and peripheral displacement of the Golgi apparatus, increased amount of satellites adjacent to retrogradely changed neurons.
The study reported here looked at how two groups of people – one with art expertise and one without – made sense of their encounters with an exhibition of a single artist, the late Paul-Henri Bourguignon. The study builds on previous research using Dervin's Sense-Making Methodology to study how people interpret their arts experiences within the contexts of their everyday lives. Informants were asked to rank-order their selections among the pieces on display according to which had the most impact for them (however they defined impact). Each informant then did a structured qualitative interview focusing on the work he or she chose as most impactful. The researchers looked at thematic elements and other patterns of similarity and difference that arose in the interviews and offer thoughts on how the results of this study may provide insight to those who work in museums.
