On the acetylcholinesterase activity in the vestibular ganglion of the rat.
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.
