Abstract
THE distribution of ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the subcellular structures of whole brain was studied by Brody and Bain1, and by Aldridge and Johnson2, and in the rat brain cortex during development by Keup3. We showed previously that appreciable differences exist in the distribution of nucleotides and RNA and in the incorporation of phosphorus-32 in this RNA in various brain regions4: we have now studied the RNA content of the subcellular fractions of each region of the central nervous system examined previously and the incorporation of phosphorus-32 in the RNA fractions thus isolated.
