Description
A simple method for staining nerve cells and fibers of the salamander central nervous system is described. The procedure employs Carnoy's fixation followed by Protargol impregnation and Nissl staining. This technique permits the simultaneous observation of intracellular neurofibrils, neuronal processes and basophilic components of the neuron. In addition, it eliminates the need to stain alternate sections with separate procedures to view the various components of the urodele central nervous system.
