  2. Golgi's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi's_method

    Golgi's method is a silver staining technique that is used to visualize nervous tissue under light microscopy. The method was discovered by Camillo Golgi , an Italian physician and scientist , who published the first picture made with the technique in 1873. [ 1 ]

  3. Purkinje cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purkinje_cell

    The Purkinje cell protein 4 is markedly immunoreactive in the Purkinje cells of the human cerebellum. From top to bottom 40X, 100X and 200X microscopic magnifications. The immunohistochemistry was performed based on published methods. [11] Microcircuitry of the cerebellum. Excitatory synapses are denoted by (+) and inhibitory synapses by (-).

  4. Nervous tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_tissue

    Nervous tissue, also called neural tissue, is the main tissue component of the nervous system.The nervous system regulates and controls body functions and activity. It consists of two parts: the central nervous system (CNS) comprising the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprising the branching peripheral nerves.

  5. Cytoarchitecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoarchitecture

    The human cerebral cortex divided into Brodmann areas on the basis of cytoarchitecture.. Cytoarchitecture (from Greek κύτος 'cell' and ἀρχιτεκτονική 'architecture'), also known as cytoarchitectonics, is the study of the cellular composition of the central nervous system's tissues under the microscope.

  6. Soma (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma_(biology)

    In cellular neuroscience, the soma (pl.: somata or somas; from Greek σῶμα (sôma) 'body'), neurocyton, or cell body is the bulbous, non-process portion of a neuron or other brain cell type, containing the cell nucleus.

  7. High-power field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-power_field

    The area provides a reference unit, for example in reference ranges for urine tests. [3]Used for grading of soft tissue tumors: Grading, usually on a scale of I to III, is based on the degree of differentiation, the average number of mitoses per high-power field, cellularity, pleomorphism, and an estimate of the extent of necrosis (presumably a reflection of rate of growth).

  8. Nissl body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissl_body

    Nissl bodies show changes under various physiological conditions and in pathological conditions such as axonotmesis, during which they may dissolve and largely disappear (chromatolysis). If the neuron is successful in repairing the damage, the Nissl bodies gradually reappear and return to their characteristic distribution within the cell.

  9. Grey matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_matter

    Grey matter, or gray matter in American English, is a major component of the central nervous system, consisting of neuronal cell bodies, neuropil (dendrites and unmyelinated axons), glial cells (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes), synapses, and capillaries.
