Light and electron microscopic observation of intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies in the locus coeruleus of the hamster.

The authors previously demonstrated that intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies (1-3 microm) in the mouse locus coeruleus under light and electron microscopy are characteristically stained using the Holmes modified method. We reported that one inclusion body existed in almost all neurons of the locus coeruleus. The present study examined whether similar inclusion bodies are present in the Syrian hamster (weight, about 60 g).

Cerebellar fastigial neurons send bifurcating axons to both the left and right superior colliculus in cats.

Anesthetized cats were injected with 2% Fast Blue and 0.5% Nuclear Yellow into the intermediate and deep layers of the left and right superior colliculus, respectively. In the right caudal part of the cerebellar fastigial nucleus (cFN), double-labeling was found in 38.
