How is Histology Integrated with Other Research Areas?
Histology at the Stanford Neurosciences Institute is integrated with other research areas to provide a comprehensive understanding of the nervous system. For example:
Combining histological analysis with genomics and proteomics helps identify molecular changes in neural tissues associated with diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Integrating histology with neuroimaging techniques, such as MRI and PET scans, allows for the correlation of microscopic tissue changes with macroscopic brain structures and functions. Using histology in conjunction with behavioral studies aids in linking cellular and molecular findings to functional outcomes and behavioral phenotypes.
