|
a group of basic aniline dyes (cresyl violet, methylene blue, thionine, Darrow red) which stain phosphate groups of nucleic acids and negative charges of acidic mucopolysaccharides
|
Nissle Stains
|
|
|
_____ are used to study the dendritic architecture of various classes of neurons
|
Golgi impregnantation methods
|
|
|
______: used primarily in the PNS; stains myelin black
|
Osmium tetroxide
|
|
|
these selectively demonstrate neurofilaments of normal axons (both myelinated and unmyelinated)
|
Pyridine silver, Cajal, Bielschowsky, Bodian, and Holmes silver impregnation methods
|
|
|
hese are silver impregnation methods where the staining of normal fibers is suppressed and the staining of degenerating axons, preterminal fibers, and terminal endings is enhanced; the degeneration of terminal boutons is best shown by the ____ method, whereas the ___ method is best for showing degenerating fiber tracts; degenerating material is black against a yellow-brown background; these techniques are used to trace the efferent connections of structures in the CNS
|
Fink-Heimer
Nauta |
|
|
Substances such as ___ , ___ are injected near the neuron cell body where they are taken up by the cell's dendrites and soma; time is then allowed for transport to axon terminals
|
horseradish peroxidase (HRP; or WGA-HRP (HRP conjugated to a plant lectin wheat germ agglutinin which facilitates uptake)
labeled amino acids (3H-proline, -leucine, etc) |
|
|
major cell type in the cerebellar cortex; forms a single row of neurons; these are the ‘outflow’ or efferent cells of the cerebellar cortex
|
Purkinje cells
|
|
|
______: where axons from other parts of the brain synapse upon the dendrites of Purkinje cells; a neuropil area; small interneurons are also found in this layer
|
Molecular layer
|
|
|
______: small neurons making up a deep thick layer of densely packed cells; small interneurons (Golgi type II) or “integrative” cells
|
Granule cells
