A new approach to brain imaging called CLARITY could revolutionize how scientists study the brain. Researchers replaced a mouse brain's opaque fats with a clear gel that supports neural tissue, resulting in a transparent organ with all its internal structures still intact and visible for study. Unhindered observation of the entire brain's neural circuitry will help "clarify" scientists' understanding of how this still-mysterious organ functions.
Science Bulletins is a production of the National Center for Science Literacy, Education, and Technology (NCSLET), part of the Department of Education at the American Museum of Natural History.
