In a recent posting to the confocal group, Guy Cox stated that DiI migrates
along the myelin to label neurons beautifully.  To clarify this, DiI migrates
within the lipid bilayer but yes, it does label neurons beautifully.  It has
been used to stain cells in culture, and does not appear to have any toxic
effects. DiI migrates along the cell membrane long before myelin appears and
after myelination, the dye still migrates continually along the membrane.
