title: Morphometric and statistical analysis of macro- and microscopic characteristics of the brain and their relationships with adrenocortical histophysiology in newborn rats.
abstract: A direct relationship between the weights of the brain and hemisphere and parameters characterizing the development of the cortex and its neurons in intact newborn rats was revealed. Parameters of brain development in newborn rats correlate with 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity in the adrenal zona glomerulosa.
