Undernutrition during early adult life significantly affects neuronal connectivity in rat visual cortex

M A Warren et al. Exp Neurol. 1989 Mar.

Abstract

Male black and white Hooded Lister rats were undernourished for 29 days during early adult life. Undernourished rats had 30% more synapses per neurone in the visual cortex than matched controls. It is suggested that undernutrition may cause a delay in the normal decline of this ratio.
