Morphology of human vestibular ganglion.
Vestibular ganglion cells of mammals have been considered to be myelinated like spiral ganglion cells. Recently, electron microscopic studies reported that the ganglion cells of human vestibular ganglion were mostly unmyelinated unlike in other mammals. The purpose of this study was to find the myelin sheaths of human vestibular ganglion cells by light and laser microscopy.
