Link between The two measures combine to make a powerful experimental approach. Cytochrome oxidase is the final electron acceptor in the mitochonrdial electron transport chain and is thus an integral component in producing ATP, the main source of energy for nerve cells (CITE). Wong-Riley (1979) introduced a histochemical procedure for measuring  cytochrome oxidasehistochemistry  and it has subsuqently been linked to  neural activity.  Necessary attributes of activity in humans, rodents and lizards. My studies are the first to be done on Teleost fish. This report is to validate these methods for use in teleost fish. In order to be  a quantitative valid  histochemical assay. assay the reaction product should be linear with respect to tissue thickness and incubation time.
