Photomicrographs obtained from hematoxylin- and eosin-stained cerebral cortex sections of the rat treated with KBrO3 and AEAC and or quercetin. Group A: control showed normal neuronal architecture, group B was administered KBrO3 only and shows chromatolysis and severe necrosis of the neuronal cells, groups C, D, and E groups administered AEAC alone in graded doses and quercetin alone showed normal neuronal architecture. The groups F, G, and H co-administered KBrO3 and AEAC/ or quercetin shows some normal cellular architecture, with modest degeneration of cells in the cerebral cortex.
