Popis: A qualitative and quantitative analysis was made of changes in caudate nucleus neurons of newborn rats and rats aged 7, 14, and 30 days. An increase in complexity of structure of components of the nerve cell was found during early postnatal ontogeny. Maturation of neurons takes place most intensively during the first 2 weeks of life and is virtually complete by the 30th day of the postnatal period. The results suggest that the caudate nucleus becomes “involved” in the integrative activity of the brain in this period of development.
