[Comparative morphometric study of sensory neurons of the cerebral and spinal cord ganglia following transection of their processes].

The morphometrical study of sensory neurons g. nodosum of the vagus nerve and spinal ganglia after transection of central and peripheral processes has established similar reactions of the neurons of these ganglia. The sensory neurons respond to the transection of peripheral processes by phenomena of retrograde degeneration. No retrograde degeneration was observed in the neurons after transection of central processes. The diminution of the size of the nerve cell bodies, their nuclei and nucleoli was noted at the period of maximally pronounced phenomena of retrograde degeneration as well as fragmentation and peripheral displacement of the Golgi apparatus, increased amount of satellites adjacent to retrogradely changed neurons.
