Time lapse recording showing the development of neuron polarity in a hippocampal neuron growing in vitro. This recording captures not only the formation of the axon (the longest process, oriented down...

Figure 398 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Excitatory synapses on dendritic spines of a Purkinje cell from the rat cerebellum. Axon terminals f...

Dorsal root ganglion nerve cells stained to reveal the microtubules (green) and actin filaments (red). The axon shaft contains bundles of microtubules that give structural support and carry cargo (pro...

CFP-expressing neuron, 14 days in vitro. By two weeks, cultured hippocampal neurons have developed a morphology typical of mature neurons with an extensive axonal arbor, a tapered and branched dendrit...

This confocal micrograph shows a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) explant. The dorsal root ganglion is a swelling on the dorsal roots of spinal nerves, which contains a cluster of cell bodies and synapses. ...

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...

CFP-expressing neuron, 14 days in vitro. By two weeks, cultured hippocampal neurons have developed a morphology typical of mature neurons with an extensive axonal arbor, a tapered and branched dendrit...

Summed Z projection through a through-focus series of a medium spiny neuron from the neostriatum of a dopamine-transporter knock out mouse, filled with Lucifer Yellow and then photooxidized. The neur...
