Studying the motor cortex in histology involves various techniques:
Nissl Staining: This technique highlights cell bodies by staining RNA, allowing for the identification of cortical layers and cell types. Golgi Staining: This method stains entire neurons, including dendrites and axons, providing detailed morphology of individual cells. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins, helping to identify and differentiate between various cell types and their functions.
