Resumen

The applications of the stereology in Neuroscience have been improved by the recent advances in the precision of stereological estimates. Here we make a comparision between two methods of estimating the coefficients of error. The new formula described by Cruz-Orive (1999) incorporate the local or ¿nugget¿ effect in addition to the error due to the sections. The estimations derived from this formula are more precise in comparision with the previous formula described by Gundersen and Jensen (1987).
