Cytochrome Oxidase Atlas of Rat Brain
This is an atlas of cytochrome oxidase activity in the rat brain made with sections stained with our quantitative histochemical method, and adjacent sections stained with cresyl violet. We used a fresh-frozen ...

Cytochrome Oxidase
Cytochrome oxidase has been used in the past as a marker of neuronal activity. We propose that cytochrome oxidase may also serve as a useful marker for predicting potential neurodegeneration, particularly foll...

Quantitative Histochemistry of Cytochrome Oxidase Activity
This chapter explains the theory and methods for the map** of cytochrome oxidase activity in the brain using quantitative histochemistry. Cytochrome oxidase catalyzes the electron transfer from cytochrome c to ...
