Intracerebroventricular Administration of Growth Hormone Induces Morphological Changes in Pyramidal Neurons of the Hippocampus and Prefrontal Cortex in Adult Rats

This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. The intracerebroventricular administration of growth hormone (GH) increases the total dendritic length of pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex and in the CA1 region of hippocampus. The effect of this hormone on structural plasticity could explain the mnemonic and restorative effects related with GH in rodents and humans.
