Detection of neurodegeneration and amyloid plaques in the mouse brain of a model for Alzeimer’s disease.  40 µm cryostat section was cut coronally through the dorsal hippocampus of a transgenic mouse used as a model for studing Alzeimer’s disease. The section was processed for detecting both neuronal damage and amyloid plaques with FD NeuroSilver™ Kit I. Note silver-stained plaques in both the hippocampus and the cortex (click to see enlarged photo).
