The aim of the study was to develop the methodologic approaches for the demonstration of the complex synaptic groups (glomeruli) in human cerebellum using synaptophysin immunocytochemistry. The protocols presented in the paper allow to obtain of high qualify prepartaions for conventional light and confocal laser microscopy in which individual glomeruli and intraglomerular axonal terminals could be distinctly identified. The preparations obtained are suitable for a quantitative analysis.
