DYNAMICS OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE RAT CEREBELLUM AFTER CHRONIC PRENATAL ALCOHOL EXPOSURE

Abstract

Prenatal exposure to ethanol leads to various structural abnormalities in the developing cerebellum, some of them remain for a long time. The most substantial changes, such as cortex layers thickening, reduction of Purkinje cell count and changes of the cell chromatophilia, take place during the period of differentiation of Purkinje cells and foliation of cerebellum – on the 20th day of postnatal life. To the age of 45 days the histological picture tends to normalize, though some parameters remain abnormal: the area of Purkinje cells decreases and the thickness of the cerebellar cortex remains increased.
