Abstract
The fine structure of the sheaths of vestibular ganglion cells was studied in 8 rats. 4 baboons. and more than 400 operative 5pecimens of human vestibular nerve. Human vestibular ganglion cells were all unmyelinated, in baboons the sheaths were predominantly composed of loose myelin. while compact myelin sheaths could be observed in rats. The pathophysiological consequences of the lack of myelin ensheathnient around the cell bodies of human vestibular ganglia are discussed.
