Imagine the medical breakthroughs if we understood more about the brain's circuitry, but a milky opaque tissue that coats much of the human brain has clouded our view - until now. With support from the National Science Foundation, neuroscientist and psychiatrist Karl Deisseroth and his multidisciplinary team at Stanford University have developed a new imaging technology that essentially makes the brain transparent. They chemically dissolve the opaque tissue in a post mortem brain, and in its place they insert a transparent hydrogel that keeps the brain intact and provides a window into its neural structure and circuitry. They can then generate detailed 3-D images that highlight specific neuronal networks. With this breakthrough technology, researchers no longer have to slice the brain and disrupt its biochemistry. Deisseroth has named this process \"\"CLARITY.\"\" It is a fundamentally new way to see the brain and widely hailed as an important advance in whole-brain imaging.\n
