Abstract
Giant nerve cells from the lateral vestibular nuclei in rabbits subjected to hemicerebellectomy and caloric irrigation were analyzed for their ribonucleic acid (RNA) content and succinoxidase activity. The animals were irrigated with cold or warm water while still in anesthesia after hemicerebellectomy. No statistically significant side differences were detected regardless of the side irrigated or the temperature used. The results are compared to the findings obtained in animals subjected to cerebellectomy and calorization, and to rabbits subjected to hemicerebellectomy only.
