Fluoro Jade Stains Early and Reactive Astroglia in the Primate Cerebral Cortex

Abstract
The fluorescent agent Fluoro Jade was applied to cortical brain sections obtained from human patients at early postnatal ages and in patients with Alzheimer's disease, and from a Cebus apella monkey after mechanical lesioning of the cerebral cortex. Fluoro Jade labeled reactive astrocytes and early differentiating astroglial cells.
