This article covers basic (normal) neurohistology. It is essential to have a good grasp on neurohistology and neuroanatomy... before doing neuropathology.

This article has some overlap with the neuroanatomy article, as there isn't a clear divider between microscopic and macroscopic.

Normal cells

This section deals with normal cellular constituents of the CNS.

Overview

Central nervous system

Neuron

  • Abundant cytoplasm - key feature.
  • Often very large cells, with angled edges.
  • Prominent nucleolus.
  • Nissl substance (granular perinuclear material = rough endoplasmic reticulum).

Glial cells

  • Oligodendrocyte.
  • Astrocyte.
  • Microglia - macrophage of the brain (derived from monocyte).
    • Typically large cells with abundant cytoplasm.
      • Often have vesicles.
    • Rarely seen in normal tissue.
    • Three morphologic types:
      • Ramified microglia.
      • Hypertrophic microglia.
      • Dystrophic microglia - often seen in neurodegnerative disease.
  • Ependyma.
  • Choroid plexus.
    • Specialized ependymal cells
    • Cuboidal epithelial cells surrounding a core of capillaries and loose connective tissue.
    • Ventricular location.

Types of neuroglia (WC/Blausen)

  • Astrocytes highlighted by GFAP (WC/Jeffery J. Iliff)

  • Oligodendrocytes with fried-egg appearance (WC/jensflorian)

  • Ependymal cells. (WC/marvin101)

  • Choroid plexus (WC/Patho)

  • Microglial cells, Lectin stain (WC/Grzegorz Wicher)

Peripheral nervous system

Ganglion cell

  • Nerve cell body.
  • Found in ganglions - encapsulated body ~ 100-300 μm.
  • Large round nucleus with prominent nucleolus - key feature.
  • Abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm.

Schwann cell

  • Principal glia of the PNS.
  • Myelinated or unmyelinated.
  • Ovoid, wavy nuclei.
  • Cells have a basal membrane.
  • Found in peripheral nerves.
  • Aka neurolemmocytes.
Images

  • Ganglion - very high mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • Peripheral nerve - cross section. (WC/Reytan)

Normal cellular constituents in a table

Cell Key feature Other features Image
Neuron cytoplasm Nissl substance (prominent
RER), "sharp" corners
in cell membrane, nucleolus
- usu. prominent[1] 		red neurons (WC)
Astrocyte non-ovoid nucleus no cytoplasm (unsw.edu)
Oligodendrocyte round small nucleus peri-nuclear clearing (vetmed.vt.edu)
Microglia rod-like shape,
may have "bent" nucleus 		typically have a sharply
demarcated bubbly cytoplasm;
rarely seen in normal tissue 		(neuropathologyweb.org),
(ucsf.edu),(vcu.edu)

Neurons

There are many types of 'em. Broadly, they can be classified as:

  1. Pyramidal - have a pyramidal shape.
    1. Dentrites go to molecular layer.
    2. Axons go to outside of cortex.
  2. Non-pyramidal.

Motor neurons:

  • Coarse Nissl substance - key feature.
    • Nissl described as having a tigroid appearance.[2]
  • Polygonal shape.
  • Send dendrites in all directions.

  • Motor neurons - nucleus of CN XII - very high mag. (WC)

Structures

This section deals with structures seen at several places in the CNS.

Grey matter and white matter

Grey matter White matter
Definition neurons present neurons absent

Left 1/3 of image. (WC/Nephron)

Additional images (white matter vs. grey matter):

  • Grey-white matter interface - high mag. (WC)

  • Grey and white matter - intermed. mag. (WC)

  • Normal cortex - LFB. (WC/jensflorian)

  • White-grey matter junction - LFB. (WC/jensflorian)

Vessels

The small blood vessels in the CNS are separated from the surrounding tissue in histologic sections. This is normal. The spaces are called Virchow-Robin spaces.[3]

Histology by anatomical structure

This section deals with specific anatomical structures.

Subependyma

Features:[4]

  • Ependyma (simple ciliated cuboidal epithelium).
  • Subependymal plate - connective tissue with blood vessels.

Caudate

Features:

  • Neurons with adjacent ependymal lining.[5]
    • The caudate forms lateral wall of lateral ventricle.

Notes:

  • Caudate, putamen and nucleus accumbens are collectively called neostriatum.[6]

Putamen

Features:

  • Striatopallidal fibers AKA pencils of Wilson (also pencil fibers of Wilson[6] and Wilson's pencils[7]) - bundles of blue fibres (on H&E LFB).
  • Neurons:
    1. Small - GABA.
    2. Large (very rare: ~1 in 100-200) - cholingeric.

Notes:

  • Histologically identical to the caudate - but not adjacent to a ventricle.
    • The caudate is adjacent to an ependymal lined space, putamen is not.[8]
  • Necrotic putamen in methanol poisoning.[9]

Images

  • Globus pallidus & putamen - showing Wilson's pencils - very low mag. (WC)

  • Putamen - intermed. mag. (WC)

www:

Globus pallidus

  • AKA paleostriatum.[10]
  • Location:
    • Superior of the substantia innominata.
    • Medial to the putamen.

Features:

  • Histologically distinct from caudate and putamen.

Image

  • Globus pallidus, putamen and the nucleus basalis in the substantia innominata - very low mag. (WC)

Hippocampus

Structures

Hippocampal formation:[11]

  1. Dentate gyrus.
  2. Hippocampus proper (AKA Ammon's horn) - this is subdivided:
    • Cornu ammonis 3 (CA3) - location: superior.
      • Large pyramidal neurons.
    • CA1 (AKA Sommer's sector) - location: inferior (next to subiculum).
      • Small dispersed pyramidal neurons.
    • CA2 - location: in between CA3 and CA1, lateral.
      • Narrow band of neurons between CA3 and CA1.
    • CA4 - location: medial (closest to dentate gyrus; CA4 sits in "open" part of "U").
  3. Subiculum (AKA subicular complex).
    • Transitions to the six layers in the entorhinal cortex.
      • No vacuolated looking stuff next to it.

Important notes:

  • CA1 - weak link, dies in ischemia, affected by hypoglycemia, degenerative diseases and toxins.
  • CA2 - resistant to ischemia.
  • CA4 - involved in epilepsy,[12] usu. normal in degenerative diseases.[13]

Images

Layers of CA[14]

  1. Molecular layer - opposed to the dentate gyrus (of Hippocampal formation).
  2. Neurons (described above).
  3. Alveus - opposed to the lateral ventricle.
    • Connects to the mammillary bodies via the fornix (circuit of Papez).

Cerebellum

Main components:

Dentate nucleus

Features:[15]

  • Ribbon of grey matter.
    • Large neurons.
    • Small neurons.

Cerebellar cortex

  • Layers (superficial to deep) - mnemonic MPG:[16]
    1. Molecular layer -- "very pink" on H&E.
      • Inhibitory interneurons: stellate cells, basket cells.
    2. Purkinje cell layer.
      • One cell layer thick - hueuege cells (~50-80 micrometers[1]).
        • Very large nucleus (~4x RBC diameter =~ 4x the size of granule cell).
          • Large nucleolus (~1x RBC diameter =~ size of granule cell).
    3. Granule cell layer -- "very blue" on H&E.
      • Granule cells (neurons) - majority of cells, small (~10 micrometres), round.
        • May look like small cell carcinoma to the uninitiated.
      • Golgi cells (interneurons) - few in number, elongated/columnar, 3-5x size of granule cell.

Notes:

  • Bergmann glia are found between the molecular layer & granular layer. They are normally not seen. They are increased & prominent in pathologic states (e.g. ischemia); "Bergmann gliosis".[17]
