Summary

Automatic Translation

Automatic Translation

Using this protocol, we were able to image 160 µm thick brain sections from mice infected with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which enables visualization and analysis of the spatial relationship between the encysting parasite and the infected neuron.
