- Foliation of the cerebella of Sprague-Dawley rats (strain Han:SPRD) is more advanced than in Wistar rats (strain Chbb:THOM). The differences expressed as length of the granular layer in median sections were significant in lobules VIa, VIII, IX and X. The length of the other vermian lobules is generally higher in the former strain. With regard to the volume of the granular layer, the situation is reversed, indicating that the lateral extent and thickness of vermian lobules in Wistar rats (strain Chbb:THOM) is generally larger.

These quantitative differences may express differences in cerebellar microcircuitry and fibre connections in the cortex of Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats.…
