Mesulam's tract tracing

Mesulam's tract tracing is a technique used in neuroscience to study brain connections. It involves injecting a tracer substance into a specific area of the brain. This tracer travels along nerve pathways, allowing researchers to visualize and map the routes that neurons take to communicate with each other. By observing how these pathways connect different brain regions, scientists can better understand brain function, the effects of diseases, and how different areas of the brain coordinate activities like movement, memory, and emotion. This method has significantly advanced our knowledge of the brain's complex wiring.
