Species: Coturnix japonica Temminck et Schlegel, 1849    Aves

Preparation Type: 60-100 µm thick celloidin sections

Prepared: D.K. Obukhov

Description: Frontal (transverse) celloidin section through an area of a telencephalic hemisphere of the Japanese quail Coturnix japonica impregnated with silver salts by the Golgi method.

Method: Golgi method of silver impregnation of nervous elements

Method Description: Frontal celloidin sections. Golgi impregnation. The staining protocol is described in detail in the handbooks of microscopy methods:

Institution: Saint Petersburg State University

Description: Frontal (transverse) celloidin section through a telencephalic hemisphere of a Japanese quail impregnated with silver salts by the Golgi method (cell bodies and neurites are stained black). Central area of the hemisphere. Silver stained a single neuron and several adjacent glial cells (presumably astrocytes). This neuron is classified as a Class I allodendritic radial neuron. These neurons are considered to be the elements controling intrahemispheral connections, because they have long axons reaching beyond the local cell group and even the local region of the hemisphere.

Organs: сentral nervous system, cerebral brain or its part

Methods: Neurohistology - Golgi method of silver impregnation of nervous elements
