Self-stimulation (SS) rewarding experience induced structural changes in CA3 hippocampal
and layer V motor cortical pyramidal neurons in adult male Wistar rats has been …

Previous studies have quantified growth and atrophy of the olfactory bulb and olfactory
epithelium of the Sprague‐Dawley rat from maturity to senescence. Major events occurring …

In normal animal development, experience molds the brain and behavior. The potential for
experience to alter brain organization and behavioral capabilities and tendencies continues …

Publisher Summary The size of the cortex and hippocampus are not constant within a sex
but vary with the nature of the environment, especially the rearing environment. This chapter …

The effects of lead on specific areas of the visual system were examined in two groups of
monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). The first group (N= 3) received 2000 μg Pb/kg/day from …

Publisher Summary This chapter deals with regression or reduction in the size of dendritic
fields in some cell types during normal development, while the general developmental …

The objective of this study was to determine whether an essential fatty acid (EFA)-deficient
diet (saturated fat) fed during development would alter the pattern of dendritic growth in …

It has been shown that dendritic branching in neural cardiorespiratory and locomotor centers
can be attenuated with exercise training (ET) initiated immediately after weaning. The …

Sixteen infant stumptail monkeys were reared to 6 months under four conditions. Behaviors
and cortical neuroanatomy were compared. Earlier studies showed effects on stellate cell …

This research documents aspects of the quantitative development of the 'medium'spiny
neuron in the kitten from 2 to 143 days of age. Using material derived from 244 Golgi …
