title: Use of image analysis for estimation of the numerical densities of neurons and synapses in cerebral cortex.
abstract: Relating to the protocol by Mikki et al. [Brain Res. Protocols 2 (1997) 9-16], the use of an image analysis system is recommended in place of micrographs and photoprints for the counting and measuring of neuronal nuclei.
