In vivo imaging of the diseased nervous system

Currently, numerous parts of the nervous system can be visualized in vivo, including the cortex, cerebellum, olfactory bulb, retina, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and autonomic ganglia. There are transgenic labels for tracing many disease-relevant structures in the nervous system, including neurons, axon tracts, most glial populations, oligodendrocytes, brain vasculature and invading immune cells (Table 1). This has allowed a growing number of disease models, such as those listed in the figure, to be studied by in vivo imaging in mice.
