Technique to make tissue transparent offers three-dimensional view of neural networks.
Scientists have come up with a way to make whole brains transparent, so
they can be labelled with molecular markers and imaged using a light
microscope. The technique, called CLARITY, enabled its creators to
produce the detailed 3D visualisations you see in this video. It works
in mouse brains and human brains; here the team use it to look into the
brain of a 7-year-old boy who had autism.
