Abstract
The rostral part of the anterior limb of the anterior commissure (RAL) and the indusium griseum of the brains of Gunn rats and Wistar rats were examined quantitatively to assess the effects of hyperbilirubinaemia on the developing nervous system. The number of glia in the RAL was significantly less in Gunn rats than in the Wistar rats. The number of glia in the indusium griseum was similar in both groups but the Gunn rats showed a decrease of about 20% in the number of neurons in this region. Myelination appeared to be unaffected and apart from an apparent increase in the number of dense bodies in astrocytes and oligoden‐drocytes there were no obvious morphological changes in either glia or neurons.This publication has 32 references indexed in Scilit:
