What Are Some Common Brain Pathologies Studied in Histology?
Histology is essential in diagnosing and understanding various brain pathologies. For example, in Alzheimer's disease, histological examination reveals amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. In Parkinson's disease, the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra can be observed. Tumors, such as glioblastoma, can also be studied histologically to determine cell origin and malignancy.
