[Method of live microscopy of the neurons of the cat brain]

Method of microscopic study of living nervous elements of the brain stained with vital dyes in the falling light was developed. Investigation of the morphology of neurons, glial cells and vasculo-nervous relations in the cat's cerebral cortex in living state in situ became possible thanks to the proposed method. Conditions were made to observe the patterns of dynamic changes in these structures under effects of different stimuli.
