The appropriateness of unbiased optical fractionators to assess cell proliferation in the adult hippocampus
Optical fractionators have dominated the field of neural cell counting for two decades. These unbiased stereological techniques are often used for the quantification of hippocampal cell proliferation in neurogenesis experiments. However the heterogeneous distribution of labeled cells, especially in...
