Did you have some problems of brain staining related to the age of animals?

23 February 2018 0 4K Report

I try the black-gold II staining on 12 months old brains and the red stain can't be seen with the naked eye, whereas the intensity staining is high and clearly visible on 7 months old brains. Do the age of animals affects brain permeability?

Thank you for your answers,

Claire Leconte
