Abstract
⺠Pre- and neonatal Pb exposure decreased the number of hippocampal neurons. ⺠Lead caused ultrastructural alterations in CA1 region of hippocampus. ⺠Hippocampus is highly vulnerable to low level perinatal Pb exposure. ⺠Lead decreased BDNF level in the developing brain. ⺠Decreased Bax/Bcl2 ratio may protect hippocampus against Pb-induced apoptosis.
