THE distribution of succinic dehydrogenase activity (SDA) in brain tissue of rodents has been reported recently in a fundamental study by SIUMIZU and MORIKAWA (1957). In the present report a detailed description of the nuclear pattern in the medulla oblongata of the guinea pig is presented as defined by the demonstration of succinic dehydrogenase within nervous tissue. The results were obtained by utilizing an improved cutting technique (FRIEDE, 1958) which minimizes traumatic effects to the tissue and allows the demonstration of SDA in fine and delicate structures, in particular, the neuropil. In some instances, the capability of the technique to demonstrate the minute differences between subnuclei definitely exceeds the results obtained by the usual cytoarchitectonic techniques. Further observations will show that even differences between cortical areas are quite clear with the SDA technique. It is hoped that the microphotographs of sections of the medulla oblongata presented in this paper together with a detailed description of the nuclei will provide a mapping of normal activity, useful as a base in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and experimental neuropathology. Importance should be attributed to the fact that the histochemical technique employed offers a method for demonstrating the neuropil, a part of the nervous system which offers very poor access to the conventional techniques of neurohistology.The nomenclature and arrangement of this atlas corresponds to that of the cytoarchitectonic atlas of the rhombencephalon of the rabbit by MEE~~ EN and OLSZEWSKI (1949). Thus, the plates of this report may readily be compared with the plates of the cytoarchitectonic atlas of these authors. The cytoarchitecture of the medulla oblongata of the guinea pig is not dealt with in the present article, since it is very similar to that of the rabbit.
