Abstract
A comparative study of the distribution of a simple esterase and acetylcholinesterase
in the cerebellar cortex of mouse and bat has been made. The
Purkinje layer is intensely positive for simple esterase in both species. The granular
and molecular layers showed mild to moderate activity in mouse and intense activity
in bat. Acetylcholinesterase in cerebellar layers of bat is more intense than in
mouse. In bat cerebellum, acetylcholinesterase is observed in the dendrites of
Purkinje cells, but not in their cell bodies. Acetylcholinesterase was not found
in Purkinje cells of mouse.
