A Modified Golgi-Cox Procedure for use in Undergraduate Courses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Golgi staining method has a long history in the field of neuroscience, and remains an important teaching tool in undergraduate laboratory settings. The ability to visualize a cell with all the processes makes the method useful when teaching introductory neuroscience courses. However, the amount of time required for post-stain tissue processing makes it a difficult procedure to use when teaching laboratory classes. We detail a modified Golgi-Cox method with a short incubation period and minimal post-stain processing that produces well differentiated cells, making it ideal for use in an undergraduate laboratory.

متن کاملOptimising Golgi–Cox staining for use with perfusion-fixed brain tissue validated in the zQ175 mouse model of Huntington's disease
BACKGROUND The Golgi-Cox stain is an established method for characterising neuron cell morphology. The method highlights neurite processes of stained cells allowing the complexity of dendritic branching to be measured. NEW METHODS Conventional rapid Golgi and Golgi-Cox methods all require fresh impregnation in unfixed brain blocks. Here, we describe a modified method that gives high quality s...

BACKGROUND Although the problem-based learning (PBL) emerged in 1969 and was soon widely applied internationally, the rapid development in China only occurred in the last 10 years. This study aims to compare the effect of PBL and lecture-based learning (LBL) on student course examination results for introductory Chinese undergraduate medical courses. METHODS Randomized and nonrandomized contr...
متن کاملA Modified Method for Consistent and Reliable Golgi–Cox Staining in Significantly Reduced Time
The two major limitations of Golgi-Cox method are that staining takes very long time and it is inconsistent. In this paper we describe a modification of the Golgi-Cox method, in which the tissue blocks were maintained at 37 ± 1°C during chromation for only 24 h and consistent staining of neurons in rat brain sections were observed. The method is simple, reproducible, rapid, inexpensive, and pro...
