Histopathology Spinal cord--Multiple sclerosis

So the light areas are with less myelin. The demyelinated areas in brain and spinal cord, when sampled and stained with this particular staining agent will be light as in the picture you see, under the microscope. This is different than the MRI pictures taken with that dye they inject to show the differences in brain tissue.

1brkas, the demyelinated area is where scarring has probably occurred. When he talks about stain, he is talking about the way the slide qas prepared. The dark areas are stained with a dye. The lighter demyelinated areas did not take up the dye, because the dye colours the fatty areas and myelin is a fat.

I didn't realize they wer called STAINS I was told they were scars MS many scars I have RR MS lesions in the brain and in the spinal cord it's tough
