title: Mapping of transmitter-specific connections: simultaneous demonstration of anterograde degeneration and changes in the immunostaining pattern induced by lesions.
abstract: This paper describes simple procedures which allow immunohistochemistry to be combined with a newly developed silver degeneration technique for the purpose of mapping transmitter-specific connections on the light microscopic level. Conditions of fixation, survival time and immunohistochemistry that contribute to optimal results are discussed.
