The present paper reports an attempt to determine the biological age in man based on the results of the studies of the capillary bed of the cerebral cortex in different periods of postnatal ontogenesis (from 1 month to 83 years). The material was investigated by histological and histochemical methods. It is concluded that the data obtained concerning the structural and functional changes in the capillaries of different regions of the olfactory brain can be used for the personality identification for the purpose of forensic medical expertise.

Keywords:

morphology

morphometry

capillary bed of olfactory brain

biological age

personality identification.
