    <strong>A New Method to Map the Bra= in: Infect It With a Virus (9 minute read)</strong>
    </span>



    <span style=3D"font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
    E11 Bio has been working for the past t= hree years to develop techniques to make brain mapping better, cheaper, and=
    faster. One of these approaches involves making the brain label itself by = injecting it with viruses that cause neurons to make special proteins that = act like barcodes. The approach reduces the amount of brain slicing require=
    d and creates more accurate wiring maps that require less proofreading. E11=
    is now shifting from proof-of-concept mode to building out its imaging inf= rastructure so it can tackle an entire mouse brain.
