"Brains as clear as Jell-O for scientist to explore"

         The article I read was called "Brains clear as Jell-O for Scientist to Explore" by James Gorman. This article informs it's reader on a recent discovery in science. The discovery is on how scientist at Stanford University were able to make a whole mouse brain and half a human brain become transparent, so that the "networks of neurons that receive and send information can be highlighted in stunning color and viewed in all their three-dimensional complexity without slicing up the organ.

      The new process is being called "Clarity" by it's inventors. This new process preserves the biochemistry of the brain unlike earlier methods to try and make the tissue of the brain and other organs transparent. The new method can preserve the biochemistry so well that researchers can test it over again and again with chemicals to highlight specific structures. That can also provide clues to past activity. This method may aslo help "uncover the physical underpinnings of devastating mental disorders".
   
      Based on the information from this article i believe that there is extremely high amounts of progress being made in studies nowadays. For example with this new process we may be able to find out more information on the brain. The brain itself is a very complex organ. It has many parts to it that we have not been able to find out information on. Aslo there have been many disorders that occur in the brain itself. Before the only way to study the brain was cutting up the organ. Now scientist may be able to find out how or why these disorders occur. If they can look into the brain they also might be able to find a way to cure these disorders that affect some people.

      Basically this new process will be able to improve the work of doctors. The way that these scientist were able to find a way to make the tissue of the brain become transparent is incredible. The progress made could possibly lead to more information on how our brain works. Also Scientist and doctors would be able to find out more on these disorders that occur and what in the brain may be causing this.
