What will I learn?
This course offers a targeted, hands-on review of neuron and glial cell structures, hippocampal and cortical layouts, and changes from stress. You will master paraffin processing, staining, immunohistochemistry for neurons, glia, and myelin, plus microscopy, digital imaging, stereology, and solid experimental planning for trustworthy, publication-ready results in neurohistology.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Brain tissue preparation: process, embed, and section hippocampus with few artefacts.
- Identify neurons and glia: recognise main cell types and stress-induced shape changes.
- Expert staining methods: use and check IHC, Nissl, myelin, and microglial markers.
- Image analysis skills: capture, analyse, and measure nervous tissue using ImageJ/Fiji.
- Research standards: plan, blind-test, and document ethical, repeatable neurohistology.
