Effect of undernutrition during the suckling period on the indusium griseum and rostral part of the mouse anterior commissure The indusium griseum and rostral part of the anterior limb of the anterior commissure were examined quantitatively in normal mice and in mice undernourished during the suckling period and subsequently rehabilitated. Both groups were examined at 5 months of age. In the indusium griseum no significant difference was found between the number of neurons or neuroglia in the well‐nourished and undernourished animals. There was a large decrease in the number of glia in the rostral part of the anterior limb which also showed a decrease in length and cross‐sectional area. These results confirm that the effects of undernutrition are most marked in areas in which growth is maximum during the period of stress.
