TI  - Morphologic variations of the external arcuate nucleus in infants dying of SIDS: 
      a preliminary report.
PG  - 1076-83
AB  - The external arcuate nucleus (EAN), located in the ventral medulla, is studied in 
      24 infants dying of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and 15 age-matched 
      controls to identify differences in morphology in this region, thought to be 
      involved in respiratory regulation. Significant differences are noted in EAN 
      neuronal density, percentage of back-to-back neurons and volume of the EAN 
      relative to the adjacent pyramids. These changes may be useful in evaluating 
      sudden infant death.
