(2018) noted that the study of neurons as individualized unities has its beginning in the 19th century with the creation of the Neuron Doctrine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last few years, great efforts have been made to understand neuronal organization and connectivity in intact brain samples. The Golgi-Cox labeling technique offers suitable contrast for the specific labeling of neurons for X-ray microtomography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neurons have a distinct morphology and specific patterns of connectivity, which are essential for their proper functioning. The researchers present a method of imaging combining synchrotron-based X-ray microtomography with the Golgi-Cox impregnation protocol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The method offers a higher and more homogeneous contrast of relatively sparsely distributed whole neurons within the tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brains were incubated in Golgi-Cox staining solution for 14 days, protected from light. After the incubation period, brains were serially sectioned using a vibratome.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-018-30501-x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">original article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Graphical Abstract powered by Mind the Graph<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/neuronal-image.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"914\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/neuronal-image-914x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/neuronal-image-914x1024.webp 914w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/neuronal-image-268x300.webp 268w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/neuronal-image-768x860.webp 768w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/neuronal-image-1371x1536.webp 1371w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/neuronal-image-11x12.webp 11w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/neuronal-image-89x100.webp 89w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/neuronal-image.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 914px) 100vw, 914px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Made with <a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/app\/graphical-abstract-maker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mind the Graph<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The author used <a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/app\/graphical-abstract-maker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mind the Graph<\/a> to create a schematic illustration that represents an adult mice being i.p. injected with saline or pilocarpine solution (280\u2009mg\/kg).
