Abstract
The synchrotron x-ray spectromicroscopy technique Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) offers a powerful means to examine the underlying biochemistry of biological systems, owing to its combined chemical sensitivity and nanoscale spatial resolution. Here we introduce and demonstrate methodology for the use of STXM to examine the biochemistry of the human brain. We then discuss how this approach can help us better understand the biochemical changes that occur during the development of degenerative brain disorders, potentially facilitating the development of new therapies for disease diagnosis and treatment.
