Transparent Golgi preparations counterstained for Alzheimer's neurofibrillary changes rendered possible the demonstration of neuropil threads in defined cellular processes. Only dendrites of tangle-bearing cortical nerve cells were found to contain neuropil threads. Processes of glial cells as well as axons present in the material were devoid of neuropil threads.
