Title

Exploring the brain with neutrons

Abstract

We propose to start an ambitious project aiming at comparing the dynamics of different sections of the central nervous system extracted from different post-mortem animal species animal species suffering or not of pathological neurodegenerative diseases. Animals will include: bovines, ovine, pigs, equines and, thanks to contacts with the bank of cetacean tissue, also dolphins and whales conserved in formalin solution. The changes in the tissues dynamics upon the conservation protocol, cryogenic towards formalin addition, will also be studied.
