title: [Features of the structural organization of the sensomotor cortex during natural development and among the progeny of alcoholic animals].
abstract: Rats of both sexes were given alcohol for four months (15% alcohol in the first month, and 25% alcohol later on). The 21- and 30-day-old rats born to these parents displayed, in addition to the inhibited maturation of the sensomotor cortex, dystrophic alterations in neurons and their dendrites, which were more pronounced in the 21-day-old animals. Despite the signs of a reparative character, the cortical structural organization remained impaired as long as one month after birth. This indicates that alcohol intoxication interferes with postnatal development of the brain in their offspring.
