This investigation was carried out at the instigation of Dr. W. V. Cone in the attempt to discover chronic pathological changes in oligodendroglia. Knowledge of chronic changes in the oligodendrocytes has not been greatly advanced m the past twenty years. At that time it was stated that: "Unlike astrocytes, the disappearance of myelin does not result in an increase but a decrease of the oligodendrocytes and it is quite possible that with myelin degeneration oligodendrocytes are transformed into astrocytes." (Penfield 1932).
