Abstract
The presence of NOS coincides with that of NADPH diaphorase activity; therefore, NADPH diaphorase staining is widely used to detect NOS‐containing cells in neural and non‐neural tissues. With the appropriate fixation procedure, this method is capable of detecting cells containing any of the NOS isoforms.Keywords
