Abstract
RNA content and succinoxidase activity was measured in single Deiters' giant nerve cells from the lateral vestibular nucleus in rabbits subjected to hemicerebellectomy. Postoperatively there was a decreased RNA content bilaterally after 1–2 weeks and almost restored values after 6 weeks. The succinoxidase activity showed asymmetrical changes with initially higher values on the operated side and with a rise on the contralateral side after 1 week. The succinoxidase activity and RNA content later returned to approximately preoperative values.
