The spinal ganglion from white cats with hereditary deafness was studied by transmission electron microscopy and compared with hearing animals at different ages. Ganglion cell loss occurred secondary to destruction of the organ of Corti, but only after the lapse of several months. Prior to neuronal loss, the type I ganglion cells lost their myelin sheaths and concurrently developed an increased content of neurofilaments. Type I neurons transformed into type II through an intermediate type III stage. This process of neurofilamentous degeneration occurred slowly. Phagocytosis apparently is an inconspicuous feature.
