Expériences sur les Neurones de Purkinje «Eosinophiles»

Abstract
The cytoplasmic eosinophilia of the Purkinje cells appears in controls at 16 days whereas in the offspring of malnourished mothers (fed 8% protein diet) it occurs at 22 days. The adult per cent values are reached by controls at 22 days and by malnourished animals at 30 days. This finding makes it difficult to refer to the cytoplasmic eosinophilia merely as fixation artifact. The possible interpretations for the occurrence of this parameter are discussed.
