To understand how information is communicated throughout the brain, the mouse connectome project (MCP) uses multiple fluorescent-labeled dyes to trace the connections among all identified structures of the mouse brain. The dyes get injected into specific brain structures and get transported to target structures that are connected with the injection site. This image is one 50 micrometer-thick section of the mouse brain that contains labeling from three dyes injected into three different brain structures, indicating the unique connections of each injection.
