title: [Morphological and cytochemical analysis of neuronal populations in the ganglion cell layer of the cerebellar cortex in birds and mammals living in similar habitats].
abstract: Neuron populations of ganglion cell layer of cerebellar cortex were studied in birds and mammals, which were living in similar habitats: air-land habitat (squirrel--Sciurus vulgaris and sparrow--Passer domesticus) and land-water habitat (nutria--Myocastor coypus and goose--Anser domesticus). The following morpho-cytochemical indices were analyzed: density of Purkinje cell distribution per unit gyms length, area parameters, tinctorial properties, protein content of neuron populations of ganglion cell layer. Evaluation of neuronal tinctorial properties has revealed general consistent patterns in the organization of cerebellar ganglion cell layer in vertebrates, while an analysis of protein metabolism has demonstrated specific features characteristic for definite classes irrespective of their habitat.
