Abstract
The course of degenerative and regenerative processes of neurons in the cerebellar cortex of albino rats (age 1 to 72 days) was studied. Degenerative and regenerative events were investigated light and electron microscopically. These findings were compared to the normal development of the cerebellar cortex layers. In order to produce degenerative and regenerative changes within the perikarya, the protein biosynthesis of the neurons was impaired by actinomycin D. This drug was applied intracisternally. That actinomycin D actually reached the neurons in the different layers of the cerebellar cortex, was demonstrated by radioautographic methods.
