Abstract:
A computational model has been used to infer rules governing dendritic growth of layer 2/3 associative pyramidal neurons in a rat model of foetal alcohol syndrome. Basal dendrites were studied in adult rats exposed to ethanol during the first postnatal week. Results suggest that ethanol exposure during early postnatal life affects mainly the branching of dendrites rather than their elongation.
