Abstract
Sections from chicken cerebellum were incubated in histochemical media containing the appropriate substrates whose consumption by nerve cells was investigated through glutamic dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase. The activities of the two enzymes were differently distributed in spite of the demonstration that glutamic dehydrogenase could function in conjunction with transaminase. The particular location of aspartate aminotransferase was observed especially in the fibre endings of the basket cells. This suggests that transaminase carries out a specific physiological function here.
