Technologies Enable 3D Imaging of Whole Human Brain Hemispheres at Subcellular Resolution

Observing anything and everything within the human brain, no matter how large or small, while it is fully intact has been an out-of-reach dream of neuroscience for decades. But in a new study in Science, an MIT-based team describes a technology pipeline that enabled them to finely process, richly label, and sharply image full hemispheres of the brains of two donors — one with Alzheimer’s disease and one without — at high resolution and speed.
