A "Red Neuron" is a pathological finding in neurons, generally of the central nervous system, indicative of acute neuronal injury and subsequent apoptosis or necrosis. Red Neurons are often found in the first 12-24 hours after an ischemic injury such as a stroke. The red coloration is due to pyknosis or degradation of the nucleus and loss of nissl bodies which are normally stained blue (basophilic) on hematoxylin & eosin staining (H&E stain). This leaves only the degraded protein which stains red (eosinophilic).[1]
