Histology

Please also briefly mention histology and the history of brain imaging, including classical staining (Golgi, Ramón y Cajal) and still widely used invasive techniques (e.g. cryosectioning, or tracers like 3H thymidine or DiI). -- Daniel Mietchen 13:51, 15 August 2008 (CDT)

Nondesctructive noninvasive, invasive, destructive

Rather than simply emphasizing in vivo in the lede, I wonder if these distinctions should be made more clear, and even split out to subarticles. Is neuropathology or neurohistopathology a better name for the destructive?

Is this to be resticted to the neurons themselves, or would cerebral angiography be at least related?

These appear to be CNS oriented, although I certainly could imagine functional neuroimaging of the peripheral nerves. For relatively nondestructive testing there, I've worked most with EMG/NCV, and wonder if these could be/are correlated. Howard C. Berkowitz 23:21, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
