Extract

It has been shown that cavities or vacuoles are most evident in the posteroventral and antero ventral cochlear nucleus (PVCN & AVCN) of the gerbil. These vacuoles are reported as a neurodegenerative disorder or spongioform degeneration or a dynamic process related to the degree of auditory stimulation or microenvironmental homeostasis in the cochlear nucleus of the gerbil. Little information is avalable on the origin and formation of microcysts in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) of the gerbil. The aim of this study, was to investigate the possible formation of microcysts in the gerbil DCN after a surgical ligation of the external auditory canal by transmission electron microscopy.

The mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus,had been acoustically deprived on the right side by a surgical ligation of the external auditory canal at six months old.
