Hippocampal neurons, SEM
Hippocampal neurons. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of neurons (nerve cells, brown) in the hippocampus of the brain. Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to the rest of the body. The hippocampus is the part of the brain responsible for long-term memory. Magnification: x1300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of hippocampal neurons, captured through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a mesmerizing network of nerve cells in the brain's hippocampus region. These neurons play a crucial role in transmitting information within the central nervous system (CNS) and throughout the body. The hippocampus itself holds immense significance as it is responsible for long-term memory formation and consolidation. This microscopic view offers us an awe-inspiring glimpse into the complex architecture that underlies our ability to remember and recall experiences. At a magnification of x1300 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM image allows us to appreciate the remarkable details of these neural structures. The false-colored rendering enhances our understanding by highlighting different regions within this anatomical wonderland. Through advancements in biological research and neurology, we continue to unravel the mysteries surrounding these vital cells and their functions. This photograph serves as a testament to both scientific progress and artistic expression, showcasing how even on such a minuscule scale, nature never fails to amaze us. Displayed proudly by Science Photo Library, this print invites viewers into the fascinating world of neuroscience while reminding us of our boundless potential for discovery within ourselves.
