{b {i This is in italics and bold.}}
{Henny+Penny We can use google fonts anywhere if we just import them first with the google-font code}
{macro foobar {u {b %s}}}
TeX-like (yes I'm making up the keywords): {\b {\i This is in italics and bold.}}
{\font {Henny+Penny} We can use google fonts anywhere if we just import them first with the google-font code}
{\macro {foobar} {\u {\b #1}}}
I would definitely prefer the first alternative over the TeX-like. The analogy also suggests though that instead of HTML "<br />" you could have a TeX-like atom "\br" instead of "{br}"; saves only one character, but easy to see inside a block of text. After an appropriate transport period, the brain is
perfused, sectioned, suitably stained, and each section
digitally imaged. These 2-D images are co-registered into a
3-D computer stack that is subsequently registered to a
common reference atlas. The resulting 3-D brain image is
largely unlabeled (i.e., contains no signal of interest),
except for the connections between the injected region and
its target regions. Thus the labeled connections are
clearly identifiable. A given region is injected in
multiple animals to account for individual variability.
They do two passes, in each pass they stain mouse brain cells in a particular region, then they kill the mouse, slice its brain, and image the slices. While this method certainly works well on mice (I've seen surgical work done of mice first hand, neat stuff), sadly it doesn't quite scale up to imaging the human brain. But having all those (petabytes) of data has gotta be worth something.
