[Comparison of the developing temporal neocortex with the sensorimotor cortex in rats (author's transl)]

The development of the cortical thickness, the length of apical dendrites and the total amount of apical dendrite spines of layer V pyramidal neurons in albino rat temporal and sensorimotor cortex in Golgi-Cox preparations is related to another during the first 3 postnatal months. The graphs demonstrate the relative growth of the features. The allometries are discussed in relation to general organizational processes during the postnatal rat ontogenesis (hearing, transition period with weaning and period of primary socialization according to Scott et al. 1974).
