23. Senile plaques and neurofibrillar degeneration: Difference between revisions

Created page with "'''Staining''': Silver stain (Bielschowsky) '''Organ''': Brain, hippocampus '''Description''': The hippocampus is visible and that’s where the characteristic findings are visible on this slide. ''Senile plaques'' are extracellular deposits of β-amyloid that are surrounded by silver-positive proteins. The amyloids themselves aren’t stained by silver and are therefore pale. These plaques are therefore visible as large black foci with a pale core. ''Neurofibrillar..."
