title: A modified cupric-silver technique for the impregnation of degenerating neurons and their processes.
abstract: A rapid version of the de Olmos-Ingram cupric-silver technique with higher sensitivity and affinity for degenerative changes is introduced for the staining of mechanically and chemically induced degeneration. Emphasis is laid on induction of degeneration with experimental approaches sparing 'fibers of passage'.
