High-contrast en-bloc staining of mouse whole-brain samples for EM-based connectomics
Abstract
Connectomes of human cortical gray matter require high-contrast homogeneously stained samples sized at least 2-3 mm on a side, and a whole-mouse brain connectome requires samples sized at least 5-10 mm on a side. Here we report en-bloc staining and embedding protocols for these and other applications, removing a key obstacle for connectomic analyses at mammalian whole-brain level.
