nissl body

Granules called Nissl bodies are found in the cytoplasm of the cell body.

Chromatolysis is the dissolution of the Nissl bodies in the cell body of a neuron.

The ultrastructure of Nissl bodies suggests they are primarily concerned with the synthesis of proteins for intercellular use.

Nissl bodies show changes under various physiological conditions and in pathological conditions they may dissolve and disappear (chromatolysis).

Cresyl violet stains the acidic components of the neuronal cytoplasm a violet colour, specifically nissl bodies.

A Nissl body, also known as Nissl or tigroid substance, is a large granular body found in neurons.

These dyes intensely stain "Nissl bodies" (rough endoplasmic reticulum), which are abundant in neurons and reveal specific patterns of cytoarchitecture in the brain.

The process of Nissl dissolution is less apparent toward periphery of the cell body of the neuron, where normal-looking Nissl bodies may be present.

The neurons in Onuf's nucleus are motoneurons, and like most motoneurons they are characterized by their mulipolarity and large Nissl bodies.

In neurometabolic diseases, distended storage neurons are markedly swollen and pear shaped, with the nucleus and the nissl bodies displaced toward the apical dendrites.

The cells exhibited decreased numbers of Nissl bodies throughout the cell, especially at the peripheral cytoplasm were the Nissl bodies were completely absent.

Nissl bodies can be demonstrated by a method of selective staining developed by Nissl (Nissl staining), using an aniline stain to label extranuclear RNA granules.

Adipocerous formation preserved the left hemisphere of the brain of a 13th century infant such that sulci, gyri, and even Nissl bodies in the motor cortex could be distinguished in the 20th century.

The functions of Nissl bodies is thought to be the same as that of the rest of the ER and the golgi apparatus: the manufacture and release of certain chemicals, namely proteins.

Peripheral chromatolysis is essentially the reverse of central chromatolysis, in which the disintegration of Nissl bodies is initiated at the periphery of the neuron and extends inwards towards the nucleus of the cell.

Central chromatolysis is the most common form of chromatolysis and is characterized by the loss or dispersion of the Nissl bodies starting near the nucleus at the center of the neuron, and then extending peripherally towards the plasma membrane.

If it is thought that Thompson's explanation is exasperating, inspect this report of Sir John Kelvin to the Royal Society on the mechanism of jaunting: We have established that the teleportative ability is associated with the Nissl bodies, or Tigroid Substance in nerve cells.
