Temporal growth pattern for terminal segments of the layer IIIC pyramidal neurons in Brodmann area 9 during the postnatal period did not differ between oblique (filled symbol) and basal dendrites (open symbol; data from Petanjek et al, 2008 [1]), and analyzed average values in all the age groups were almost the same for terminal segment mean length (A) and radial distance (B). Transient overgrowth was found on mean length (C) and radial distance (D) of oblique dendritic intermediate segments. Age was presented on a logarithmic scale. Shaded bar represents the period of puberty. Squares represent male subjects; circles represent female subjects. P – puberty; B – birth; m – months; y – years.
