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