The year 1984 was a watershed in stereology. It saw the introduction of highly efficient and
unbiased design-based methods for counting the number of arbitrary objects in 3 …

The science of stereology has undergone a revolution over the past decade with the
introduction of design-based (assumption-or model-free) methods which are highly efficient …

We have found that the density of synapses in the stratum radiatum of the hippocampal CA1
region in the adult female rat is sensitive to estradiol manipulation and fluctuates naturally as …

An electron microscopic analysis has been carried out on the effects of age on the numerical
density of both excitatory (asymmetric) and inhibitory (symmetric) synapses in the neuropil of …

The dynamic nature of synaptic connections has presented morphologists with considerable
problems which, from a structural perspective, have frustrated the development of ideas on …

We examined the structural plasticity of excitatory synapses from corticostriatal and
thalamostriatal pathways and their postsynaptic targets in adult Sprague-Dawley rats to …

This review deals with notions of shape, sizes, numbers, densities and orientation in space,
all basic concepts in stereology. With the initiation by Delesse in 1847, but mainly since the …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is currently considered a potential pharmacologic
agent for stroke therapy because of its strong neuroprotective and angiogenic capacities …

Ts65Dn mice are partially trisomic for the distal region of MMU16, which is homologous with
the obligate segment of HSA21 triplicated in Down syndrome (DS). Ts65Dn mice are …

The effect of age on layer 1 of area 46 of prefrontal cortex was determined in the cerebral
cortices of 15 rhesus monkeys, 13 of which had been behaviorally tested. Five of the …
