Abstract
In the early era of modern microscopic neuroanatomy, Gerlach, Flechsig, and Freud all developed exquisitely sensitive stains based on aqueous gold chloride which, due to their capriciousness, were completely succeeded by the methods of Weigert and others. We have returned to a variant of the gold chloride myelin stain, modified from the recent method of Schmued (1990), and show this technique reveals fiber-defined striosomes in the primate caudate-putamen.
