RNA synthesis in different regions of rat brain at various time intervals after cerebellectomy

RNA synthesis was studied in cerebral cortex, thalamus and brain stem of rat, on the 3rd, 8th, 30th and 75th day after cerebellectomy. An increased RNA synthesis was detected in thalamus at the 30th day and in cerebral cortex and brain stem at the 75th day after cerebellectomy. Our findings suggest that motor compensation following the cerebellectomy could be supported by a spatio-temporal organization of macromolecular synthesis in different brain regions.
