Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Neuronal inclusions are valuable histological features in establishing an accurate neuropathological diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders, but they also have provided insight into the underlying molecular pathology of these disorders. This review provides an overview of the most common neuronal inclusions, both cytoplasmic and intranuclear, in the aging human brain and in a range of neurodegenerative disorders, focusing on their appearance with routine histological methods, as well as by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy.
