MRI
The black reaction, also known as the Golgi stain method, is a histological technique used to visualize individual neurons in tissue samples. Developed by Camillo Golgi, it involves the use of silver chromate solution, which selectively stains a small percentage of neurons, allowing for detailed observation of their structure and morphology. This method is particularly valuable in neuroscience for studying neuronal networks and the intricate branching of dendrites and axons. The striking black appearance of the stained neurons against a clear background facilitates their analysis under a microscope.
Neuroscientists have studied the very large neurons in the brain, such as pyramidal neurons found in the cerebral cortex. These neurons play essential roles in functions like higher cognitive processes and motor control, making them a focus of research to understand brain functions better. By studying these neurons, researchers can gain insights into how information is processed and transmitted in the brain.
The patch clamp technique is a laboratory technique in electrophysiology that allows the study of single or multiple ion channels in cells. The technique can be applied to a wide variety of cells, but is especially useful in the study of excitable cells such as neurons, cardiomyocytes, muscle fibers and pancreatic beta cells.
Afferent Neurons
Interneurons or association neurons.
The technique known as "lesioning" involves deliberately damaging specific areas of the brain to study their functions. This can be done through various methods, such as surgical removal, chemical injections, or the use of electrical currents. While lesioning provides valuable insights into brain function and behavior, it inevitably results in the destruction of neurons within the targeted area. As a result, this method raises ethical concerns regarding the harm inflicted on the brain tissues being studied.
The technique of studying the brain involving the electrical activity of the large groups of cortical neurons is calles an EEG. The process of conducting an EEG is to place electrodes on different parts of the scalp and recording the electrical signals.

You have a really good question. Studying the nervous system can be overwhelming and quit confusing. Preganglionic Neurons come from the CNS to the Ganglion ( mass of neuron cell bodies and dendrites) and Postganglionic neurons leave the ganglion and head toward the effector organ ( smooth muscle, glands, etc..).

Sensory Neurons
Sensory neurons and neurons are connected by Interneurons.
