Abstract

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunoreactivity within rat hypoglossal (XIIth) nuclei was examined 1-50 days following either unilateral nerve transection or modest electrical stimulation using indirect immunofluorescence and PAP immunohistochemistry. Both nerve transection and stimulation provoked an increase in the immunodetected GFAP within the XIIth nucleus.
