[FUN_Mail] FW: Teaching Lab Supplies

[Betty Zimmerberg via FUN_Mail]

Jean-Marie,
  I have several sets of coronol slices through the whole rat brain,
double-stained for Nissl and myelin in two colors, that might be useful for
you. They are part of a finished project on the effects of fetal alcohol
exposure. I have week old and adults.

Let me know if they would be useful and I'll send them to you.

Thank you,
 Betty
