Protein Imaging reveals detailed Brain Architecture-Neuroscience

by
in science on (#WQ5S)
MIT chemical engineers and neuroscientists have developed a new way to classify neurons by labeling and imaging the proteins found in each cell. This type of imaging offers clues to each neuron’s function and should help in mapping the human brain.

The key advance of the new technology, known as SWITCH, is the ability to preserve tissue in such a way that it can be imaged repeatedly, with different proteins labeled each time.
