[Effect of the unilateral ovariectomy in rats on the brain development in one month old offspring].
Litter of unilaterally ovariectomised rats had a greater mass of the brain and a thicker cortex of the anterior parietal lobe as well as a lower density of neurons distribution in this lobe. The brain changes seem to be due to changes in the hormones level in operated rats.
