INDIRECT MEASURES OF NEUROPROTECTION ARE PARAMETERS TO AVOID: EXAMPLES FROM RESEARCH ON NEONATAL RAT HYPOXIA-ISCHEMIA
The use of indirect measures of neuronal injury or neuroprotection, such as brain weight or the neuronal density of neurons, can lead to misinterpretations of biological processes. The use of modern stereological methods to directly measure the absolute number of surviving neurons generally yields m...
