NEURONAL CYTOSKELETON
- REDUCED SILVER, a traditional stain of NEUROFILAMENTS, has dense reactions in axons. The soma has a typical pattern of filaments as a cytoskeleton with extension into the base of the dendrities. Note dendrites taper and axons keep the same diameter. Filaments decrease in dendrites resulting in taper of projections. Examples are motoneurons.
