In 17- and 18-day-old rat embryos and in 10-, 30-day-old newborn rats, the development of the spinal ganglia neurons was investigated under normal conditions and after intrauterine asphyxia. It was stated that increase in the profile field of the neuronal body development proceded differently before and after birth. Before birth, the most intensive growth was noted in large ganglial cells, while after birth--in middle and especially small cells. It was stated that embryos subjected to asphyxia in the last fourth of their intrauterine life suffered from chronic disorders in their neuronal cells, their intensity increasing with time reaching maximum to the first month of life. This process involved mainly the cells of middle and small size.
