RESULTS1. Triclhyltin Acetate Intraperitoneal Injection: One day after the intraperitonealinjection of triethyltin acetate, myelin splitting was secn evenly distributed throughout the areas of the central nervous system examined including the optic nerve (fig. 1). The splits were, in general, irregular, devoid of any discernible content and, as illustrated by others (1, 2), arose from the splitting of an interperiod line. Neu-ronal, glial or vascular changes were not observed. The extracellular spaces remained narrow. After 2 and 3 days, the extent and intensity of the effect increased but no other changes were observed. Intracerebral Implantation: One day after the implantation of pellets of triethyl-tin acetate, no generalized myelin splitting was present in the central nervous system. The alterations were confined to the site of implantation and the con-tiguous callosal radiation. The center of the implantation site was composed of the pellet and necrotic tissue. From that point and radiating into the white matter, various amounts of extracellular, electron-dense, hematogenous edema fluid were present (fig. 2). The appearance and location of the edema fluid were essentially identical to those observed after the implantation of a variety of other irritants (6). In a few blocks of the brain of one of the animals sacrificed at this time, rare, scattered focal intramyelinic splits were observed within the edematous aa0SBy the second day after implantation, the extent and severity of the edema had increased markedly along the white matter bundles. Scattered myelin sheaths within these bundles showed occasional intramyelinic splits. At this time, al-though differences between individual animals and tissue blocks existed, the predominant feature of thc altered tissue consisted of extracellular edema, and the splits were of relatively minor significance. Four days after implantation, the situation was reversed, and while extra-cellular edema was still present, the intramyelinic splits occupied the major portion of the field. The splits were generally devoid of electron-dense content and remained confined to the implanted hemisphere. At this time, macrophages could be found near the central necrotic area and various other glial and neuronal reactions, as seen in other implantation experiments (9), were found. Intracerebral Implantation and Interperitoneal Injection: When both routes of administration was utilized simultaneously, the effects were simply additive. Thus, one day after double triethyltin administration, there was generalized splittingin both hemispheres and optic nerves as well as focal extracellular edema near the implant and in the contiguous callosal radiation. Intramyelinic splits were commonly seen in the edematous areas (fig. 3). For the most part, the intramyelinic splits remained clear (figs. 4, 5). On the second day, both edema
