RE: nerve dissection/teasing

From:Ronnie Houston

Well done Andy............................having spent days on end doing this, and pulling every hair out of my head, I totally agree with you.

Also, opinion is very divided about what useful information you actually get from a well-teased nerve (personally I do not believe it is worth the time and effort). If the nerve isn't well-prepared and carefully handled, you are wasting your time and everybody elses as the potential for artefactual damage is great.

Trust me - the best method is to get somebody else to do them.

Hi all

What method are you nerve teasers using?I use the
method whereby the nerve is osmicated and then placed
in 45,60,100% glycerol.Are there any other methods?How
long do you take to tease a nerve and how many slides
per nerve do you prepare?

Thanks 

Maria
