ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC STUDIES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM OF THE ADULT FEMALE RABBIT AT THE TIME OF EXPERIMENTAL CONVULSION

抄録

At present the application of electron microscopy to cytology as well as to the whole of histology is extensively carried on in our country, and the papers concerned with this subject are increasing in number so much that, with respect to the various problems still left unsolved by light microscopy or the fine structure of tissue which has been said hardly possible to discover owing to the little resolving power of the light microscope, new information is being added to in rapid succession. For the purpose of pursuing morphological investigations of epileptic fits, especially convulsions, the present authors, by using female rabbits as materials, have made clear the normal fine structure of the hippocampus major and the cerebral cortex to which special attention has been paid light microscopically and, at the same time, after throwing materials experimentally into convulsions by electric shock, observed them by electron microscopy. Resides the findings by Mimoto in this clinic, the results obtained by the authors will be here reported
