Brain Mapping

Scientists Mapped Entire Brains at Nanoscale For This Psychadelic Visualization

Using advanced techniques, what once took years now takes days.




The brain remains famously remains one of the most mysterious parts of the human body. The challenges of neuroscience are among the most daunting in the medical field. Expansion microscopy is a crucial element of that study, a chemical technique that expands a small specimen to make it more observable at the molecular level. A new technique allows scientists to expand microscopy so instead of focusing a single sell, it can explore full neural circuits, at a speed around 1,000 times faster than before.
