CLARITY

CLARITY is a method of making brain tissue transparent using acrylamide-based hydrogels built from within, and linked to, the tissue, and as defined in the initial paper, represents "transformation of intact biological tissue into a hybrid form in which specific components are replaced with exogenous elements that provide new accessibility or functionality". When accompanied with antibody or gene-based labeling, CLARITY enables highly detailed pictures of the protein and nucleic acid structure of organs, especially the brain. It was developed by Kwanghun Chung and Karl Deisseroth at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

Subsequent published papers using the CLARITY method of building acrylamide-based tissue-gel hybrids within tissue for improved optical and molecular access, have included studies on Alzheimer's Disease human brains, mouse spinal cords, multiple sclerosis animal models, plants, and microscopy methods including tissue expansion or swelling for use in confocal microscopy (F. Chen et al., Science, Jan. 2015) and CLARITY-enhanced light sheet microscopy or COLM.

Clarity (John Mayer song)

"Clarity" is a song by John Mayer, lushly arranged with piano and drums provided, in part, by The Roots drummer Questlove and brass by two time Grammy winner Roy Hargrove. It was the second single from Mayer's 2003 album Heavier Things. The song's meaning is not immediately clear. Some interpretations have characterized the song as being about coming to terms with a relationship, while others have interpreted the song as being about a person's own self-perception. At his February 28, 2007, show at Madison Square Garden, John introduced "Clarity" as a song written about the first few seconds after waking up in the morning when you don't remember all of the problems and worries in your life.

At the "Soundstage with Buddy Guy" concert, Mayer explained the song as one of the best he's done, in that it's the best in portraying his thoughts and feelings.

Clarity peaked at #13 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart and #25 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.

This song was covered by saxophonist Najee in his album Rising Sun in 2007.
