Thanks Mike.  I think that the actual published
article I was thinking of was the Wisniewski, et al
reference.  I had that confused with the original
Neuropath meeting presentation by Raul, and had
forgotten that he mysteriously disappeared from the
author list by the time the full paper made it into
the literature.  Due to upheavals in the lab, all of
my references are stuffed into boxes at home, and
retrieving things is purely serendipitous.  Part of
the results of all these years of flattening semithin
epoxy sections with chloroform and other nasty
chemicals seems to be an inability to get all those
neurons firing and making the right connections :). 
Or, it could just be another "Senior Moment".
