Based on some images, it looks like there can be variability in the exact number, but does anyone know of any literature that describes the diversity of neuronal nucleoli and gives exact numbers for how many nucleoli per neuron among different cell types? Thanks!!
For Mecp2, there is around 2-2.2 nucleoli per nucleus.
Singleton MK, Gonzales ML, Leung KN, Yasui DH, Schroeder DI, Dunaway K, LaSalle JM. MeCP2 is required for global heterochromatic and nucleolar changes during activity-dependent neuronal maturation. Neurobiology of disease. 2011 Jul 31;43(1):190-200.
Or are you asking How many "nucleus" per neuron in mouse cortex?
Typically two or three, ... but the numbers may vary considerably depending on sampled neuron type, age and labelling technique used.
