Neuronal numbers in the neonatal rat superior cervical ganglion were estimated from counts made on paraffin wax sections stained with cresyl violet. The raw data were separately processed in accordance with the correction procedures of Abercrombie (1946) and of Hendry (1976). The results do not support the view that there is histogenic neuronal loss during the first 30 days post-partum. Figures corrected by the Abercrombie method indicated that the neuronal population is held stable throughout the first month of neonatal life at a level of about 35000 neurons. On the other hand, when the data was corrected by Hendry's method, the population appears to increase from less than 20000 to about 45000 neurons in the first week, and is then held at that level until the end of the study period. Moreover, histochemical studies using the acid-phosphatase reaction have previously indicated that there is little or no cell degeneration during this period.
通过对用甲酚紫染色的石蜡切片进行计数，估算新生大鼠颈上神经节中的神经元数量。原始数据分别按照阿伯克龙比（1946年）和亨德里（1976年）的校正程序进行处理。结果不支持产后头30天存在组织源性神经元丢失的观点。用阿伯克龙比方法校正的数据表明，在新生期的第一个月，神经元数量在约35000个神经元的水平上保持稳定。另一方面，当数据用亨德里方法校正时，神经元数量在第一周似乎从不到20000个增加到约45000个，然后在研究期结束前一直保持在该水平。此外，先前使用酸性磷酸酶反应的组织化学研究表明，在此期间几乎没有细胞变性。
