Hippocampus neuron, TEM
Hippocampus neuron. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a neuron from the hippocampus, a structure in the brain responsible for long-term memory. Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to the rest of the body. The neuron consists of a cell body with a large nucleus (pale brown) and inner nucleolus (red). The single nerve fibre (axon, right) transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body. The surrounding material is the brains grey matter. Magnification: x1800 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print showcases a Hippocampus neuron, offering us a glimpse into the intricate world of brain cells. The coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) captures a section through this vital neuron found in the hippocampus, which plays a crucial role in long-term memory formation. The image reveals the complexity of neurons responsible for transmitting information throughout our central nervous system (CNS). At its core lies the cell body, housing a large nucleus with an inner nucleolus that stands out in striking red. From here, a single nerve fibre or axon extends outward to carry nerve impulses away from the cell body. Surrounded by grey matter, this snapshot provides insight into the biological foundation of our memories and cognitive processes. It serves as a reminder of how these neural connections work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to shape our experiences and shape who we are. With its false-coloured presentation, this print not only highlights the anatomical details but also adds an artistic touch to enhance visual appeal. Whether you're fascinated by biology or simply intrigued by the wonders of our brain's inner workings, this image is sure to spark curiosity and appreciation for the incredible complexity within each individual neuron.
