Postnatal growth of neuronal perikarya in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the rat.
The cell bodies of relay neurons in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the rat achieve their adult size 16 days after birth, the greatest increases occuring between days 4-6 and days 14-15. Perikarya of intrinsic neurons continue to grow up to at least day 20. Perikaryal growth and the growth and maturation of the dendritic tree of relay neurons are synchronous.
