The morphology of cells from normal and diseased brains and PML‐SV40 transformed brain cells grown on glass cover slips in culture is described. Seven types of cells are identifiable, four of which are probably of mesenchymal origin whereas the remaining three are neuroglial. A classification on the basis of the morphologic features is presented.
