In histology, motor neurons are studied through various staining techniques and imaging methods. Common techniques include:
Nissl staining: This method highlights the cell body and dendrites, making it easier to study the neuron's structure. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to identify specific proteins within the motor neurons, allowing for the study of their function and pathology. Fluorescence microscopy: This imaging method uses fluorescent dyes to visualize motor neurons in high detail.
