Charting the Human Brain with New Tools
14 November 2022
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM PST
Session Description
Neuroscientists are mapping billions of cells to create a complete cell-type atlas of the human brain. Researchers are deploying powerful new tools in advanced visualization that provide better resolution and accuracy as they sort through the complexity to catalog brain regions and cell types. They will discuss the potential of 2-photon shadow imaging (TUSHI), multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH), single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq), highly multiplexed immunofluorescence imaging using tricks in spatial biology, and recently explored tissue clearing methods.
