Issue Date: | 1981 | Journal: | Journal of Neuroscience Methods | Abstract: | The use of a microscope equipped with a universal stage with 4 rotation axes, drawing tube and photographic system for the 3-dimensional study of neuronal morphology is considered. Two-dimensional projections of the neuronal tree are obtained by rotating the stage, and the application of coordinate transformations results in a 3-dimensional mapping of neuronal topography. Algorithms used for these transformations are presented and the method applied to Golgi-impregnated neurons of the cerebral cortex of adult lizards. The advantages, limitations and sources of error of this method are discussed. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/72654 | ISSN: | 0165-0270 | DOI: | 10.1016/0165-0270(81)90048-0 | Source: | Journal Of Neuroscience Methods [ISSN 0165-0270], v. 4 (2), p. 141-152, (1981) |
