What Histological Techniques are Used to Study Wallerian Degeneration?
Several histological techniques are employed to study Wallerian degeneration:
Histochemistry: Staining methods such as Luxol Fast Blue can be used to identify myelin breakdown. Immunohistochemistry: Antibodies against axonal and myelin proteins help visualize degeneration and regeneration processes. Electron Microscopy: Provides high-resolution images of the structural changes occurring in the axons and myelin.
