What Histological Techniques are Used to Study Neuroprotection?
Various histological techniques are employed to study neuroprotective effects, including:
- Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins that are markers of neuroprotection or damage. - Electron microscopy: Provides high-resolution images of neuronal ultrastructure to identify changes at the sub-cellular level. - In situ hybridization: Detects specific nucleic acid sequences within tissue sections to study gene expression related to neuroprotection. - Fluorescence microscopy: Used to visualize cellular components and processes in living cells.
