Spectrum: Decades-old collection of monkey brain tissue goes virtual

Spectrum: Decades-old collection of monkey brain tissue goes virtual. “The material comes from Pasko Rakic and the late Patricia Goldman-Rakic, who began studying brain development in macaques more than 50 years ago. Their original collection contains roughly 300 brains. About 10,000 slides from 185 of these sectioned specimens have been digitized so far, says Alvaro Duque, a research scientist in neuroscience at Yale University.”
