Glial responses to degenerating cerebellar cortico-nuclear pathways in the cat.
Astrocytic changes in regions of long-term, cerebellar corticonuclear degeneration are characterized by large increases in cytoplasmic volume, as well as by formation of vacuoles and fibrils. Lipids are demonstrable in the vacuoles with oil red-O staining.
