Tacrine drug molecule
Tacrine. Computer model of a molecule of the drug tacrine. It is sold under the brand name Cognex. It is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drug

Dopamine neurotransmitter molecule
Dopamine molecule. Computer artwork of a molecule of the neurotransmitter and neurohormone dopamine (C8.H11.N.O2). The atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (black)

Spinal cord, transverse section
Spinal cord. Light micrograph of a transverse section through a human spinal cord. The spinal cord has a central canal around which are the dorsal and ventral horns (orange)

Nerve cell trauma response. Fluorescent light micrograph of a section through a spinal cord affected by multiple sclerosis (MS)

Brain tissue, light micrograph
Brain tissue. Light micrograph of a section through tissue from the mammalian brain, in this case from the cerebellum. The cerebellum is the part of the brain that controls sensory perception

Stroke, conceptual artwork
Stroke. Conceptual computer artwork of a stroke, showing a cut-away of a human head and a blood vessel bursting in the brain. A stroke is also known as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA)

Neurological wonders unravel before our eyes as we delve into the intricate world of the brain. The Motor homunculus model, a representation of the body's motor functions within the brain, unveils the fascinating connection between mind and movement. Cerebellum tissue, captured in a light micrograph, showcases its remarkable structure responsible for coordination and balance. Through Brain fibres revealed by DTI MRI scan C017 / 7099, we witness the complex network that allows information to flow seamlessly throughout our minds. These Brain pathways pave the way for thoughts to travel and actions to be executed with precision. The Brain blood vessels depicted in a stunning 3D angiogram C007 / 1981 remind us of their vital role in nourishing this extraordinary organ. As we explore further, we encounter both Motor and sensory homunculi – visual representations highlighting how different regions of our bodies are represented within specific areas of our brains. Delving deeper into microscopic realms, Nerve and glial cells come alive under a light micrograph. Their intricate structures reveal their crucial roles in transmitting signals and supporting neuronal health. Synapse nerve junctions captured through TEM imagery demonstrate where these incredible cells communicate with one another. Surprisingly, even caffeine crystals make an appearance under a light microscope – reminding us that neurological effects can extend beyond what meets the eye. Zooming closer still reveals Nerve cells observed through SEM imaging; their unique shapes hint at their diverse functions within this awe-inspiring system. Finally, Hippocampus brain tissue takes center stage – known for its involvement in memory formation and spatial navigation. Its intricacies hold secrets waiting to be unlocked by dedicated researchers worldwide. As we uncover these neurological marvels piece by piece, it becomes evident that there is much more than meets the eye when it comes to understanding this enigmatic realm within each one of us - an endless source of fascination awaiting exploration.
