## Abstract Undernutrition during early life is known to cause deficits and distortions in brain structure. However, it remains uncertain whether this includes a diminution of the total numbers of neurons. Recent advances in stereological techniques have made it possible to obtain unbiased estimate

## Abstract Male rats were either undernourished or fed normally from birth to day 21, after which time food was made freely available. At 1 month of age littermate pairs from both nutritional groups were housed in either enriched or impoverished conditions for 30 days and then killed for brain mea
## Abstract Male rats undernourished from birth to 30 days were nutritionally rehabilitated till 160 days of age. Quantitative stereological procedures at the light and electron microscopical levels were employed to estimate, among other things, the synapseβtoβneuron ratios in the frontal cortex an
