Abstract
The morphology of the cochlear nucleus in the normal, adult chinchilla, as demonstrated by Nissl staining, was examined. The cytoarchitecture was determined from sections viewed at the light microscope level. The chinchilla cochlear nucleus was found to possess most of the features reported in other mammalian cochlear nuclei. It could easily be divided into dorsal and ventral components due to an intervening layer of granule cells, and most cell types previously reported in mammals were also found in the chinchilla cochlear nucleus. A distinct distribution pattern of cell types exists within each part.
