Stereology is a set of simple and efficient methods for quantitation of three‐dimensional
microscopic structures which is specifically tuned to provide reliable data from sections …

The new stereological methods for correct and efficient sampling and sizing of cells and
other particles are reviewed. There is a hierarchy of methods starting from the simplest …

Spreading depolarizations (SD) are waves of abrupt, near-complete breakdown of neuronal
transmembrane ion gradients, are the largest possible pathophysiologic disruption of viable …

Modern stereological methods provide precise and reliable estimates of the number of
neurons in specific regions of the brain. We decided to estimate the total number of …

Stereological cell counting was applied to post-mortem neocortices of human brains from 31
normal individuals, age 18–93 years, 18 females (average age 65 years, range 18–93) and …

The white matter is the structure of the brain that declines most with age—almost 30%, but
little is known about the age‐effect on the fibers that constitute the white matter. In the …

• Using a new and unbiased stereological technique, the total numbers of neuron and glial
cells in the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus and the nucleus accumbens were found to be …

In the present pilot study, age-related white matter changes were investigated by the use of
design-based stereological methods. In the brains of elderly subjects, the total volume of the …

Neurostereology has been applied to quantitative anatomical study of the human brain.
Such studies have included the total neocortical number of neurons and glial cells, the …

Unbiased estimates of the total number of neurons and glial cells from central regions of
grey matter in human brains are obtained using the disector principle in modifications which …
