The Nissl stain has several important applications in histology:
Neuronal Identification: It helps in identifying and counting neurons in different regions of the brain. Brain Mapping: Assists in mapping the cytoarchitecture of different brain regions, aiding in anatomical studies. Pathological Analysis: Used in identifying abnormalities in neurons, which can indicate various diseases or injuries. Developmental Studies: Helps in studying the development and differentiation of neurons in embryonic and postnatal stages.
