Vestibulo-ocular (VO) neurons in the superior vestibular nucleus were labeled retrogradely with horseradish peroxidase and studied quantitatively using electron microscopy to determine the morphologic correlates of vestibular compensation. Eleven VO neurons from three normal cats were compared to 26 VO neurons in four animals killed 8 weeks after vestibular neurectomy and 13 VO cells from two animals killed 1 year after vestibular neurectomy. The results demonstrated a marked reduction (74%) in the number of synaptic profiles (SPs) on the VO cell soma in both experimental groups. Synaptic vesicles in the remaining SPs on VO neurons were fewer, smaller, and rounder than vesicles in control animals. The residual SPs also were associated with more asymmetric synapses. The experimental VO neuron showed a significant decrease in soma and organelles associated with protein synthesis.
