Confocal micrograph of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes from neural stem cells Astrocytes (green) and oligodendrocytes (red) derived from rat neural stem cells in culture. Both these cells are types of...

Confocal micrograph of neural stem cells transplanted into mouse brain Mouse neural stem cells, labelled with green fluorescent protein, have been transplanted into the brain of a newborn mouse and ar...

Intracellular dye injections of protoplasmic astrocytes from the CA1 region of hippocampus of a 1 month old rat reveals highly ramified spongiform processes that span territories with minimal overlap....

Intracellular dye injections of protoplasmic a 1-week old rat reveals highly ramified spongiform processes that span territories with minimal overlap. Astrocytes were filled with Lucifer Yellow (green...

Nerve and glial cells in fruit fly embryo. Glial cells (stained green) in a fruit fly developing embryo have survived thanks to a signaling pathway initiated by neighboring nerve cells (stained red).

Following in vivo 2-photon imaging of an area of spinal cord with chronic experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a correlated block-face SEM volume was collected of an area near blood vessels disp...

This confocal micrograph shows the detailed structure of the retina from a one-month-old mouse. The retina is the photoreceptive organ of the eye. It is composed of layers of neuronal cells that captu...

Photomicrograph of a midsaggital section showing the different components of the rat cerebellum, including Purkinje neurons in green, glia (non-neuronal cells) in red, and cell nuclei in blue. This i...

Confocal micrograph showing nerve cells growing along fibers (purple) made from a specially modified silk that is similar to that made by spiders and silkworms. Schwann cells, whose nuclei are shown i...

Electron micrograph of an unmyelinated nerve Schwann cell from a rat tongue. Image made available by James D. Jamieson and the Department of Cell Biology, Yale University School of Medicine.
