Abstract:
The transitional zone between the myelinated and the terminal portions of nerve fibers was electron microscopically investigated in the cerebellar cortex of normal rats. A noteworthy finding in the present study is the existence of a "heminode" consisting of the myelinated and non-myelinated portions, as demonstrated within a single section. The heminode seems to be a characteristic structure in the granular layer of the rat cerebellar cortex.
