| Abstract: | The distribution of the cyclic nucleotides was examined in layers of the mouse cerebellum following decapitation. Cyclic AMP increased and cyclic GMP decreased in all three layers of the cerebellum examined. The increase in cyclic AMP in the granular layer was far greater than in either the molecular or white layers. In the cerebellum from control mice, the cyclic GMP concentration was highest in the molecular layer and lowest in the white layer. Even after decapitation, this cyclic GMP gradient in the cerebellum was maintained. |
