title: Hypothyroidism affects preferentially the dendritic densities on the more superficial region of pyramidal neurons of the rat cerebral cortex.
abstract: The effect of neonatal hypothyroidism on the dendritic density of layer III pyramidal neurons of the rat cerebral cortex has been investigated using a special matric algorithm. The results obtained indicate that this disease affects preferentially the dendritic density on the upper region of these cells.
