Lipofuscin Concentrations in Selected Areas of Human Brain

Man has always been curious about his own mind--how and why it works. The essentials of its function must eventually be pushed back to the cellular level. Thus, it is on the neuron that the structural and functional integrity of the nervous system largely rests. In this project, through histology of the human brain, I have investigated one aspect of the neuron: that of the differential accumulation of lipofuscin, the old age pigment
