Abstract

A laminated cytoplasmic inclusion consisting of curved parallel arrays of thick-walled microtubules separated by a layer of granular dense material has been identified in neurons within the visual cortex of a monkey. This body appears to be a continuation of the granular endoplasmic reticulum and previously has been noted in neurons related to other levels of the visual system. The present observations would tentatively appear to support the hypothesis of Morales, Duncan, and Rehmet that these structures are specializations of the visual system, although their presence in cerebellar stellate cells indicates that this distribution is not unique.
