Toxic metals in a patient with concurrent ALS and MS. (A) Most locus ceruleus neurons contain dense black AMG™ (closed arrowheads). Some neurons have no (open arrowhead) or only slight (arrow) AMG™ staining. (B) A corticomotoneuron cell body has AMG™ in both the lipofuscin (closed arrowhead) and in the remaining perikaryon (open arrowhead). (C) One slightly shrunken spinal motor neuron has AMG™ in the perikaryon (closed arrowhead) and in its processes (open arrowheads). An adjacent motor neuron (arrow) contains no AMG™ (arrow). (D) Brain microvessels have AMG™ in their walls (closed arrowhead). Nearby oligodendrocytes or pericytes have small paranuclear AMG™ deposits (open arrowheads). Methods: A–D (18). Bars = 20 μm.
