Exposure of rats to 3,3'-iminodipropionitrile (IDPN) results in neurofilament (NF)-filled swellings in the proximal axons of a number of large neurons, including sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and motor neurons in the spinal cord. The present report describes the effects of acute and chronic IDPN exposure on the vestibular ganglion (VG) neurons as compared to those on the DRG neurons. In the VG, IDPN induced intra-perikaryal accumulation of morphologically and immunocytochemically identified NFs. In the DRG of the same treated animals, IDPN induced proximal axonal swelling but no perikaryal NF accumulations. We concluded that the VG neurons preferentially express the IDPN-induced NF pathology in their myelinated cell bodies. It is hypothesized that the NF pathology occurring after IDPN is preferentially expressed in myelinated structures.

D008854	Microscopy, Electron	Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.	Electron Microscopy

D009498	Neurotoxins	Toxic substances from microorganisms, plants or animals that interfere with the functions of the nervous system. Most venoms contain neurotoxic substances. Myotoxins are included in this concept.

D005727	Ganglia, Spinal	Sensory ganglia located on the dorsal spinal roots within the vertebral column. The spinal ganglion cells are pseudounipolar. The single primary branch bifurcates sending a peripheral process to carry sensory information from the periphery and a central branch which relays that information to the spinal cord or brain.
