Array tomography for the detection of non-dilated, injured axons in traumatic brain injury.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Axonal injury is a key feature of several types of brain trauma and neurological disease. However, in mice and humans, many axons are less than 500 nm in diameter which is at or below the resolution of most conventional light microscopic imaging methods. In moderate to severe forms of axon injury, damaged axons become dilated and therefore readily detectible by light microscopy. However, in more...
