ABSTRACT
Golgi preparations of rabbit visual cortex aged 1-25 days, as well as similar tissues from adults, were examined for the growth of the dendritic arbor, and in particular the development of dendritic spines. The layer 5 pyramidal neurons and layer 4 stellate neuron were chosen as representatives of larger classes of neurons in the visual cortex. It was determined that the growth of the dendritic arbor, determined by counts of total number of dendritic and total dendritic length, is quite similar for pyramidal and stellate neurons. Dendritic spine development, however, is more rapid in pyramidal neurons than in stellate. This disparity in the rate of dendritic spine development is discussed in the light of physiologic studies on the development of receptive field properties in the rabbit visual cortex.
