Imaging the developing mouse brain with conventional MRI is challenging. Manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) has the potential to provide a noninvasive, in vivo approach for analyzing mutant phenotypes in the early postnatal mouse cerebellum. We present preliminary data generated using a CryoProbe (Bruker) suggesting that the primary source of Mn contrast in the mouse cerebellum is the Purkinje cell layer.
