A focal form of vacuolation in the white matter of the thalamus of 13 sheep and 2 cattle is described. The individual vacuoles were similar in appearance to those reported in other forms of spongy degeneration, but they were differentiated by their consistent neuroanatomical localization in the thalamic radiation of all 15 animals. Thirteen of these were sheep used in toxicity experiments and 11 had shown signs of convulsive activity.
描述了13只绵羊和2头牛丘脑白质中的一种局灶性空泡形成。单个空泡的外观与其他形式海绵状变性中报道的相似，但它们在所有15只动物的丘脑辐射中的一致神经解剖定位使其得以区分。其中13只是用于毒性实验的绵羊，11只表现出惊厥活动迹象。
