A Simple Method for 3D Analysis of Immunolabeled Axonal Tracts in a Transparent Nervous System

Clearing techniques have been developed to transparentize mouse brains, thereby preserving 3D structure, but their complexity has limited their use. Here, we show that immunolabeling of axonal tracts followed by optical clearing with solvents (3DISCO) and light-sheet microscopy reveals brain connect...
