Neuroanatomists have established that the brain is not completely formed in the womb.
For many years, neuroanatomists have used "morphometric analysis," an experimental approach that measures the size of specific regions, groups of cells, or even single cells in the brain.
Axonal transport and neurotransmitter release, for example, are now known to occur by mechanisms that are related to those of membrane trafficking and secretion used by all eukaryotic cells, and the neurofilaments whose unusual staining properties allowed neuroanatomists to trace axonal tracts are now recognized as part of a larger family of intermediate filaments found in many cell types.
