A new technique for differential and simultaneous staining of nerve cells and fibers.

A new and simple method for the simultaneous staining of nerve cells and fibers is described. The use of formol-thionin under controlled conditions of concentration and pH provides a highly reliable method for the staining of nerve cells in blue and fiber tracts in red, making any posterior differentiation redundant. This technique provides constant and reproducible results allowing simultaneous staining of many sections.

[Neuroanatomy of the nuclear vestibular complex in the syrian hamster. Comparison with other mammals].

The vestibular complex has been studied since the fifties. The general conclusion of research on many mammals is that the vestibular complex has four main vestibular nuclei and some less constantly associated neuronal groups. The general distribution of the four main vestibular nuclei in the hamster does not differ substantially from that of other mammals: humans, many primates, cat, opossom, rabbit, chinchilla, guinea pig, etc. Of the many associated groups that have been described, we clearly identified groups < >, < >, < >, < >, and the interstitial nucleus of the vestibular nucleus of Cajal. However, the latter seems to be less developed than in other mammals. We present results and a map of serial sections of the vestibular area showing the most characteristic anatomic relations with brainstem structures, and the most relevant cytomorphometric results compared with other mammals.
