The morphology of intracellularly recorded neurons in the cat caudate nucleus (Cd) was studied during postnatal development. After intracellular recording of evoked responses in these neurons, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was injected iontophoretically through the recording micropipette. Fifty-eight Cd neurons in cats ranging from 6 days of age through adulthood were identified morphologically. All of the recovered Cd cells were medium-sized spiny neurons. The basic somatodendritic morphology of these neurons was evident in the youngest kittens. The most striking morphological change was the postnatal formation of an extensive local axonal collateral plexus. The development of these local axonal collaterals was also quantified with computer assistance in medium-sized Cd spiny neurons selected from silver-impregnated material. This analysis showed that the major development of the branches of this local plexus occurred between birth and 3-4 months of postnatal age. Data from both the HRP-filled and silver-stained axons indicated that the postnatal growth of the local axonal collaterals of the medium spiny cells was associated with the elaboration and increasing prevalence of evoked inhibitory postsynaptic potentials in Cd neurons.
