There is a great variety of techniques for complete neurone visualization currently available. Each of them has some advantages and disadvantages. The selection one of them depends upon the requirements of the situation. One of the most useful techniques for observing individual neurones has been the Golgi method with its variations. This method has been extended from the light microscopic to the ultrastructural level. The correlation of neural structure and function was advanced with the technique of intracellular injection of the fluorescent dyes. Investigations of the cross-correlations between morphology, electrophysiology and immunohistochemistry of neurones have significantly advanced current knowledge of the complex organization of at least some parts of the nervous system. Some crucial parameters including the selection of the dyes, the injection technique and tissue processing as well as the appropriate immunohistochemical fluorescent markers are discussed. Cell reconstruction techniques also are mentioned.
