The great strides made in the field of morphological methods during
the past decades have perhaps found their most spectacular
expression in the functional exploration of the nervous system. In
comparison with other tissues, nerve tissue displays three kinds of
specificity : structural, because of the unique organization of the
neuronal networks ; chemical as shown, for example, by the
informative molecules exchanged between the nerve cells, and of
course functional, thanks to the particular metabolic and
electrophysiological characteristics of the neurons. Although for a
long time the structural properties of the nervous system were
generally considered to constitute the only field to which
morphological techniques could be applied, we are to-day justified
in believing that they can also explore the nerve tissue through
its specific chemical and functional aspects, thanks to the
development of immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization, to
the elaboration of the deoxyglucose method, to the use of voltage
or ion sensitive dyes, and to the progress made in the application
of in vivo techniques like PET. These methods have evolved so fast,
the technical and fundamental problems they raise are so numerous
and stimulating, and the importance of the complementary data they
provide is so obvious, that we thought it was a good time to
organize a new meeting between distinguished specialists in the
neurocytochemical field.
