Duncan NRI Neuropathology Core
The main objective of the Neuropathology Core is to perform histological and immunohistochemical assays to faciliate neuropathological analyses of human and animal model tissues.
Core Services
The Core provides following services:
- Histochemical staining
- Immunohistochemistry
- Interpretation and analyses of anatomical and histopathological findings

- The TEM Core is open to all researchers in the Texas Medical Center and has JEOL 1400 Plus electron microscope with an AMT XR-16 mid-mount 16-megapixel digital camera. Our services include consultation, tissue processing, thick and thin sectioning, staining, TEM analysis, and image collection.
- We offer tissue processing on the Ted Pella Bio-Wave vacuum processor, and nanometer sectioning on the Leica UC 7 ultramicrotome along with lead citrate and UA staining. We offer processing training to complement any subsequent experiments needed for continuing studies. Appointments are pre-scheduled to ensure staff, supplies, and reagents are available. At this time sectioning and imaging are restricted to staff.
