Deep Brain Imaged for Months at a Time

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
STANFORD, Calif., Jan. 18, 2011 — Travel just one millimeter inside the brain and you'll be stepping into the dark. Standard light microscopes don't allow researchers to look into the interior of the living brain, where memories are formed and diseases such as dementia and cancer can take their toll. But Stanford scientists have devised a new method that not only lets them peer deep inside the brain to examine its neurons but also allows them to continue monitoring for months. The technique promises to improve understanding of both the normal biology and diseased states of this hidden tissue. Other...Read full article
