Transmission electron micrograph of the accumulation of rough endoplasmic reticulum known as Nissl bodies within nerve cells from the superior cervical ganglion. Note that this very early (1953) mic...

Transmission electron micrograph showing the aggregation of rough endplasmic reticulum known as a Nissl bodiy within nerve cells of the superior cervical ganglion. Note that this very early (1953) m...

Confocal micrograph of the brain of a transgenic zebrafish embryo. Some neurons express the green fluorescent protein (GFP) - shown in green under the control of a specific promotor. Tracts, axons and...

Confocal micrograph of the anterior region of the developing zebrafish brain (consisting of the telencephalon, part of diencephalon and the optic tectum). Some of the neurons (shown in green) express ...

Confocal micrograph showing the Mesocephalic 5th nucleus in the brainstem. The nerve cell bodies are labelled with an antibody to neurofilaments (red) and the surrounding glial processes are labelled ...

Confocal"Brainbow" mouse hippocampus and cerebral cortex neurons, with several fields montaged together. In Brainbow mice, neurons randomly choose combinations of red, yellow and cyan fluorescent pro...
