Abstract
EARLIER work1 with fresh canine brains has shown that there is a linear increase in the dry matter content from birth to 6 weeks of age (10 per cent to 19 per cent) and then a more gradual maturation to the adult level of 20 per cent. A rapid increase in brain volume up to 6 weeks of age was also found.
