[Morphochemical differentiation of neurons of the lateral geniculate body of the rabbit brain following early visual deprivation].
To study the propertes of the external geniculate body neuron's protein concentration and protein content were measured cytophotometrically in the cytoplasm of the above neurons in normal and visual deprivided animals 2.5 months after the birth. The results obtained suggest the increasing of protein concentration and protein content in the cytoplasm of neurons and the decreasing of protein concentration in surrounding structures. These changes varied depending on the neuron volume during the deprivation. It is supposed, that some groups of neurons exist in the external geniculate body with different degrees of specificity in respect to vision impulsation. Mechanisms of a possible rearrangement of the neuron metabolism in the external geniculate body during the deprivation are discussed.
