Abstract

How distinct cell populations are distributed in three-dimensional space under homeostasis or following injury, neurodegeneration, or with senescence can teach us much about brain-wide patterns and signaling along the neuroaxis. Visualizing individual cell populations in the mature vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) has remained a challenge as a result of difficulty clearing adult brain tissue or limitations in imaging depth or resolution. We have developed a simple clearing and imaging pipeline optimally suited for the adult zebrafish brain to investigate changes in patterns of cell proliferation in wild-type and transgenic backgrounds that can easily be quantified and represented using FIJI and IMARIS software.
