Clarity Produces A Transparent Brain

Brains As Clear As Jell-O For Scientists To Explore by James Gorman.  The New York Times.  April 10, 2013.

Clarity is the name of a new process that makes the brain and other organs transparent.  Unlike earlier processes this one preserves the biochemistry of the brain very effectively allowing repeated tests to highlight specific structures.  It is exciting to contemplate the effects a transparent brain can have on the treatment and diagnosis of schizophrenia, autism, post-traumatic stress disorder and other disorders.
