Hi everyone.  Does anyone have a good way to decalcify mouse skulls that
doesn't shrink or otherwise alter the brain?  We want to section mouse
heads from neonates through 2 weeks of age.  I know that we'll have to
change the time that the brain is in the decalcifying solution,
depending on the age of the mouse, but if anyone can recommend a good
decalcifying solution or give any other advice, I'd really appreciate
it.
Thank you.
Matt
