Abstract
Mori and Leblond have reported that oligodendrocytes in the corpus callosum of rats may be classified into three types consisting of light, medium and dark. The light oligodendrocytes are the largest, and the dark ones are the smallest. In the present study, oligodendrocytes of different sizes and densities were found to occur in the normal lateral vestibular nucleus of the rat. Here, as reported in the corpus callosum, the darkest cells are the smallest. The largest of the oligodendrocytes in the lateral vestibular nucleus have a density which approaches that of astrocytes, which are also present throughout the nucleus.The lateral vestibular nuclei of 18 rats were partially deaffer-entated by aspirating the anterior vermis of the cerebellum, from which the nucleus receives input.
