Multicolor high-resolution whole-brain imaging for acquiring and comparing the brain-wide distributions of type-specific and projection-specific neurons with anatomical annotation in the same brain.

Visualizing the relationships and interactions among different biological components in the whole brain is crucial to our understanding of brain structures and functions. However, an automatic multicolor whole-brain imaging technique is still lacking. Here, we developed a multicolor wide-field large-volume tomography (multicolor WVT) to simultaneously acquire fluorescent signals in blue, green, and red channels in the whole brain.
