摘要
Tissue clearing is commonly used for whole-brain imaging but seldom used for brain slices. Here, we present a simple protocol to slice, immunostain, and clear sections of adult rat brains for subsequent high-resolution confocal imaging. The protocol does not require toxic reagents or specialized equipment. We also pro-vide instructions for culturing of rat brain slices free floating on permeable cul-ture inserts, maintained in regular CO2 incubators, and handled only at media change.
