| Abstract: | Recently developed stereological methods have been used in experiments to examine the effects of two levels of undernutrition during early postnatal life on the total number of rat dentate gyrus granule cells. This study has shown that previously undernourished rats have significant deficits in the total number of this particular type of neuron. |
