In Vivo Tests and Assays:
Morphology
-
Confocal microscopy
- Double Fluorescent labeling
- Electron microscopy (to examine cellular changes)
- Golgi staining (to examine dendritic branching, synaptic density, and terminal sprouting)
- Histological evaluation (cryostat, microtome, vibratome)
- Neuron and glia counting, using stereological techniques
- Myelin staining and fiber counting
- Retrograde and anterograde tracing with fluorescent dyes (to examine axon sprouting)
