A protocol to detect neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster whole-brain mounts using advanced microscopy

Summary: Drosophila melanogaster is an excellent model organism to study neurodegeneration. Assessing evident neurodegeneration within the fly brain involves the laborious preparation of thin-sectioned H&E-stained heads to visualize brain vacuole degeneration. Here, we present an advanced micros...
