3-D Tour of Intact Mouse Brain
CLARITY makes possible this 3D tour of an entire, intact mouse brain. It was imaged using a fluorescence technique that previously could only be performed with thinly-sliced brain tissue, making it difficult to relate micro-level findings to macro-level information about wiring and circuitry. Source: Kwanghun Chung, Ph.D., and Karl Deisseroth, M.D., Ph.D., Stanford University.
