Brain nerve cells, TEM C014 / 0356
Brain nerve cells. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through brain tissue from the cerebral cortex, showing numerous neurons (nerve cells) surrounded by axons and dendrites. Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to the rest of the body. Each neuron consists of a cell body with a large nucleus (brown). The nerve fibres (axons) transmit nerve impulses away from the cell body. The surrounding material is the brains grey matter. Magnification: x2000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of brain nerve cells, captured through a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The image reveals a section of brain tissue from the cerebral cortex, where numerous neurons take center stage. These remarkable nerve cells are surrounded by axons and dendrites, forming a complex network responsible for transmitting information throughout the central nervous system (CNS) and beyond. Each neuron depicted in this print consists of a cell body housing a prominent nucleus, represented by its distinct brown coloration. The nerve fibers or axons extend outward from the cell body to transmit vital nerve impulses. Surrounding these neural elements is the brain's grey matter, which plays an essential role in processing information. The magnification level chosen for this print allows viewers to appreciate the incredible detail present within each individual neuron and its surrounding environment. This image provides insight into both healthy anatomy and cellular biology, offering glimpses into how our brains function on a microscopic level. Photographed by Steve Gschmeissner for Science Photo Library, this stunning visual representation serves as a testament to the wonders of neurology and histology. It invites us to marvel at the complexity and elegance found within our own brains while reminding us of their crucial role in orchestrating our thoughts, actions, and overall well-being.
