对53个新生儿至40岁的人的大脑进行了31800个背外侧膝状核细胞的横断面积测量。膝状细胞在出生后的前6至12个月迅速增大，其中细小细胞层的细胞比大细胞层的细胞发育得快。至少需要2年的时间，所有细胞才能达到成年的大小。
The cross-sectional areas of 31,800 dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus cells were measured in 53 human brains ranging in age from newborn to 40 years. Geniculate cells increase in size rapidly during the first 6 to 12 months of postnatal life, with cells in the parvocellular layers developing faster than cells in the magnocellular layers. At least 2 years are required before all cells have reached their adult size.
