Optimized Mouse Brain Atlas for Automated Mapping & Quantification of Neuronal Activity
Use whole brain c-Fos imaging to better understand how drugs work in the CNS
Whole-brain Activation Signatures of Weightlowering Drugs
Unprecedented resolution and sensitivity allows gene expression to be detected in whole mouse brains
Now it is possible to detect mRNA in intact organs with unprecedented sensitivity.
Using whole brain in situ hybridization it is possible to multiplex up to three genes simultaneously. This can be used to map the expression of druggable receptors or other genes of interest. In combination with gene therapy it can be used to detect payloads such as mRNA or ASO’s. The digital maps produced are compatible with c-Fos maps or NeuroPedia maps.
Detecting mRNA in Intact Organs with Incredible Sensitivity
Quantify whole-brain histopathological hallmarks in mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases
Use 3D imaging to quantify multiple neurodegenerative endpoints such as plaques, dopaminergic cells and spreading of pathologies such as a-Synuclein or p-Tau.
Whole brain imaging is the perfect tool to study gene therapy and biodistribution of CNS-targeted drugs
3D imaging can be used to quantify and visualize where in the brain a drug is ending up. The technology can be applied to both fluorescently labelled antibodies and peptides. For gene therapy it is possible to visualize payloads delivered using both viral and non-viral approaches. In addition it is possible to combine conventional 2D histology with 3D imaging. After imaging the brains can be sectioned and stained with additional antibodies.

Jacob Hecksher-Sørensen is Director of the imaging facility at Gubra, and he has worked for more than 20 years with immunolabelling, tissue clearing and 3D imaging. Initially the technology was primarily applied to mouse embryos but over time methods and equipment have evolved to a point where it is possible to label and image adult mouse organs at single cell resolution. Today we visualise diseases progress and translate these finding into new therapies.
