title: On the acetylcholinesterase activity in the vestibular ganglion of the rat.
abstract: Acetylcholinesterase was demonstrated in the ganglion cells of the vestibular ganglion of the rat with Karnovsky's method. The acetylcholinesterase content was evaluated after a 24 hours incubation time by means of a three-grade scale. The cell size was determined by a particle size analyser. No correlation between the two values could be established. A comparison with the spiral ganglion showed a slightly lower acetylcholinesterase content in the vestibular ganglion. The content of acetylcholinesterase in the vestibular ganglion cells seems to be lower than in the spinal ganglion cells.
