[A cytochemical study of binaurally converging connections in the nuclei of the cat superior olive].
Experiments of binaurally converging connections on the level of the superior olive nuclei was carried out on anesthetized cats by the method of quantitative cytospectrometry. A considerable increase in the cytoplasmic RNA content in the neurons of the ipsi- and contralateral medial and lateral nuclei was observed following a 2-hour monaural stimulation by rhythmical sound (noise) signals. The volume of the functioning neurons of the nuclei under study showed either no significant change or increased. The data obtained demonstrated the nature of functional organization of the binaurally converging connections.
