In histology, neurotransmitters can be studied using various techniques:
- Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific neurotransmitters in tissue sections. - In Situ Hybridization: This method detects mRNA transcripts of enzymes involved in neurotransmitter synthesis. - Electron Microscopy: Provides detailed images of synaptic vesicles and synaptic clefts, helping to elucidate the ultrastructural aspects of neurotransmitter release.
