Abstract

A drug-induced lipidosis of the central nervous system of chickens is reported. Membranous cytoplastic neuronal inclusions similar to those seen in Tay-sach's disease in man and in spontaneous or drug-induced disease in swine were seen by electron microscopy. Fat was demonstrated in frozen sections.
