Tóm tắt

The ultrastructure of the nerve cell change in swayback is presented. Notable features are an increase in cell size, progressive loss of Nissl substance, alteration in form and distribution of the Golgi apparatus and a striking increase in neurofibrils within the perikaryon. Similarities and differences in the fine structural changes of other pathological states are discussed.
