Rapid Golgi Technique for Staining Pyramidal Neurons in Rat Hippocampus
نویسنده
چکیده
The Golgi-Cox is a gold standard technique to stain the neurons. However the major limitations of the study are that it is time taking and inconsistent. In this paper we describe a modification of the Golgi–Cox method, in which the tissue blocks were immersed in rapid Golgi solution and silver nitrate for staining of neurons in rat brain. The method is simple, reproducible, rapid, inexpensive and provides uniform staining with very good resolution of neuronal soma, dendrites as well as spines.

متن کاملThe effect of prenatal restraint stress on the number and size of neurons in the rat hippocampal subdivisions
Animal studies have shown that prenatal stress is able to induce long-lasting neurobiological and behavioral alterations in adult offspring. In spite of the facts that hippocampus is sensitive to early developmental influences and its known functional importance in learning and memory, few data are available on the effect of prenatal stress on the structure of hippocampus. Therefore, this study...
