Comparison of three silver stains for demonstrating neurofibrillary tangles and neuritic plaques in brain tissue stored for long periods.

Three methods were compared to find a reliable method for demonstrating neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and neuritic plaques (NPs) in brain tissue stored for long periods in formalin or as paraffin blocks.
