2 Fig. 1 Cross section of the lumbar spinal cord in an animal treated with memantine. Well-preserved, normal-looking motor neurons are seen. Perikarya are polygonal with cytoplasmic extensions. The cytoplasm stains violet; it contains ample Nissl substance as clumps of basophilic material. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) ) Copyright © 1999 Mosby, Inc.

3 Fig. 2 Cross section of the lumbar spinal cord in a control animal. Edema and vacuolization are prominent in anterior horn motor neurons. Cellular shape is ovoid to round, and Nissl substance is highly dispersed or no longer present. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) ) Copyright © 1999 Mosby, Inc.
