Using a stereological method, the optical disector, we examined three inbred strains of mice (NZB/BINJ, DBA/2, and C57BL/6J) for morphological differences in volume, neuronal number, and density of the pyramidal cell and dentate gyrus granule cell layers of the hippocampus. We found significant diff

Loss of neurons has been considered to be a prime cause of nervous disturbances that occur with advancing age. However, the notion of a constitutive aging-related loss of neurons has been challenged recently in several studies that used up-to-date methods for counting neurons. In this study, we have
The physical disector was proposed as an unbiased and efficient means to estimate neuron number; however, the validity and reliability of this method have been examined only infrequently. Estimates of neuron number in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of bullfrogs ( R u m cutesbeiunu) were compared to n
