Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) diaphorase histochemistry was used to localize cholinergic neurons in the pedunculopontine nucleus of neonatal and adult rats. Measurements of cell body areas revealed an average area around 200 μm2at birth, followed by a significant increase to approximately 500 μm2by 2 weeks of age. Thereafter, there was a decrease in cell area such that by 5 weeks of age the neurons had attained their adult size of around 300 μm2. The marked increase in cell size at the end of 2 weeks of age is discussed in relation to significant events in the development of locomotor and other rhythmic function control systems.
