The ganglionic cells of the eighth nerve ganglia were studied. The cells of the vestibular and spiral ganglion were similar in structure. Changes in the ultrastructure involving the mitochondrial apparatus, and squamous endoplasmic reticulum and the nucleus took place in the ganglionic cells under effects of stimulation (sound, angular accelerations, vibration). These shifts appear to be morphological manifestations of the ganglionic cell metabolism under the influence of a specific stimulus.
