TL;DR: This ultrastructural study on cisplatin-induced changes in LS of spinal ganglia neurons shows that the total area and total number of LS structures are significantly increased by cisPlatin treatment.
Abstract: We performed morphometric and ultrastructural studies to determine the morphological response of rat spinal ganglion sensory neurons to prolonged administration of cisplatin up to a total dose of 18 m

TL;DR: It is concluded that the localisation and ultrastructural characteristics of these HRP-positive neurons are useful for distinguishing them from other neuronal populations within the nucleus.
Abstract: Injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into the cerebellar flocculus of the rat was employed to identify neurons in the abducens nucleus that project to the flocculus. The number, ultrastructural features and precise localisation of these neurons in the nucleus were examined. They were present bilaterally and represented about 7% of the total neuronal population of each nucleus. They were localised principally in the dorsomedial area of the cranial half of each nucleus and did not display the typical ultrastructural features of motoneurons. It is concluded that the localisation and ultrastructural characteristics of these HRP-positive neurons are useful for distinguishing them from other neuronal populations within the nucleus.
