A mouse brain is the size of a peanut.
Now they are trying a mouse brain, with its 100 million neurons.
"You can get rid of pretty much all of the amyloid," says Dr. Pangalos as he displays a three-dimensional image of a mouse brain on his computer.
Given enough of these pieces, it might one day be possible to compile a complete map of a mouse brain and, eventually, the human brain.
Besides being cheap and disposable, a mouse brain weighs half a gram and packs a mere 16m neurons.
In a neurology lab here, for example, slices of a mouse brain a single cell thick are placed on microscope slides.
A mouse brain that has been clarified with Scale, on the other hand, is clear enough without thin-slicing, and could be imaged in three big chunks, avoiding these problems, according to Dr. Miyawaki.
a Mouse brain, b shale sample.
Three continuous sections containing 2 neurons in a mouse brain are shown.
In Fig. 5a, we show execution times when processing a mouse brain sinogram.
Two are real experimental data collected at APS beamlines: a mouse brain dataset [44] and a shale sample [46].
