Description
Marta Girona Alarcon and co-authors image the fluid spaces of a living mouse brain with a new X-ray method. Brain fluid flow shapes health, but no tool could watch it whole, sharp, and fast at once. Their method uses synchrotron X-rays for micro scale tomography in live animals. Scans cover the whole brain in well under a minute.
The team imaged mice at three facilities, breathing freely or on support. Contrast traced spinal fluid paths across the brain, and tissue motion could be measured as well. The method bridges a gap between fine microscopy and whole brain magnetic scans. It opens tests of how brain fluid truly moves.
