Cerebral cortex nerve cells C018 / 0062
Cerebral cortex nerve cells. Light micrograph of a section through neurones (nerve cells, black) in the cerebral cortex of a human brain. Branching processes (dendrites) receive impulses from other nerve cells and pass them to the cell body. Each cell body also has an axon through which it relays nerve impulses to the dendrites of other neurones. Neurones allow information to be received, interpreted and relayed around the body. The grey matter of the cerebral cortex forms the outer layer of the brain that is responsible for conscious thought, memory and language

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of cerebral cortex nerve cells in a human brain. The image, taken under a light microscope, reveals the complex network of neurones that allow information to be received, interpreted, and relayed throughout the body. Each nerve cell is represented as a dark silhouette with branching processes known as dendrites extending from its cell body. The grey matter of the cerebral cortex forms the outer layer of our brain and plays a crucial role in conscious thought, memory, and language. It is fascinating to observe how these healthy nerve cells work together harmoniously to facilitate communication within our nervous system. The monochrome aesthetic adds an artistic touch to this scientific marvel, emphasizing both its anatomical significance and visual appeal. This sectioned view provides us with a glimpse into the histological composition of this vital organ. As we admire this extraordinary photograph by Secchi-Lecaque/Roussel-Uclaf/CNRI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we are reminded of the remarkable complexity that exists within our own bodies. It serves as a testament to the incredible wonders found within even the tiniest structures at microscopic levels.
