Study of dendritic morphology through Golgi impregnation techniques has significantly furthered our understanding of neuronal development, maturation, and senescence. It has also provided insight into the pathogenesis of a wide spectrum of disease processes ranging from brain malformations to degenerative disorders. Golgi impregnation remains virtually the only method for demonstrating dendritic morphology. It delineates the profile of the individual neuron and its dendritic ramifications with unsurpassed clarity. Although it has been widely applied to experimental neuroscience involving animal tissue, its application to human material has been limited. This review summarizes the information on dendritic development and pathology in the human brain revealed by the use of the Golgi method.
