title: An algebraic approach to the detection of multiple markers in complex neuronal systems.
abstract: An important class of neuroanatomical problems requires identification of neurons that contain two or more substances. Based on the additivity of neuronal elements that are independently labeled, a simple numerical approach may be applied to these problems. This approach provides a sensitive and viable alternative to direct multiple labeling of endogenous or transported neuronal markers.
