Cellular organization at the fourth week post-hatch showed that the large perikarya Purkinje cells were round,
pear-shaped an arranged in single row at the junction between the molecular and granular layers. The cells
demonstrated prominent nucleoli and nuclear materials. Different sizes and shapes of various neurones were
observed at 8th week. The inner granular layer was observed to contain numerous small round granule cells giving
the appearance of tightly packed chromatic nuclei. The white matter was seen to have sparse granule cells with
dense nerve fibres (Figures 10a and 10b) and (Figure 11).
