This week at Auditory Group Meeting, Jane Mattley will give a presentation on the CLARITY technique developed in the Deisseroth lab at Stanford University.  She attended a workshop at Stanford on this method a few months ago.  From the CLARITY wiki:  "The method is used to transform an intact tissue into an optically transparent and permeable hydrogel-hybridized form that can undergo immunostaining and high resolution 3-D imaging without damage to the sample. By clearing the tissue while preserving fine structural details, CLARITY provides a technique for obtaining high-resolution information from complex systems while maintaining the global perspective necessary to understand system function."  Key references attached.

Friday 9:30-10:30am in the Ear Institute Main Seminar Room.
