Data for this study was acquired at the UCSF Innovation Core at the Weill Institute for Neurosciences on an instrument acquired in part using a Sandler Program for Breakthrough Biomedical Research grant, which is partially funded by the Sandler Foundation.
Proper Reporting for Method Sections
Please send us a draft of your method section, with a few business days to spare, and we will make sure it has all the necessary information (hardware, imaging settings and image processing) reported accurately.
Coming soon, we will have a template method section here for each instrument.
