Deep brain stimulation and nerve cell C016 / 7205
Deep brain stimulation. Computer artwork showing an electrode sending electrical impulses to nerve cells. In the background a light micrograph (LM) of a section through grey matter in the brain, showing human nerve cells (neurones). The nerve cells consist of cell bodies (black) with large fibrous axon nerve processes leading off from them. The axons transmit nerve impulses away from the cell bodies. These nerve cells form part of the grey matter along with branched dendrite nerve fibres and small support cells (neuroglia). Dendrites conduct impulses to the cell bodies of other nerve cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of deep brain stimulation and nerve cells. In this computer artwork, we witness an electrode emitting electrical impulses to nerve cells, highlighting the fascinating connection between technology and biology. The background features a mesmerizing light micrograph (LM) capturing a section through grey matter in the brain. The image reveals human nerve cells or neurons, characterized by their distinct cell bodies in black. These cell bodies are accompanied by large fibrous axon nerve processes that extend outward, transmitting vital nerve impulses away from the cell bodies. Within this complex network of neurons lies the essence of our nervous system, forming part of the grey matter alongside branched dendrite nerve fibers and small support cells known as neuroglia. Dendrites play a crucial role in conducting impulses to other neuron's cell bodies, facilitating communication within our brains. This remarkable fusion of artistry and scientific exploration sheds light on deep brain stimulation's potential applications in fields such as neurology and neurosurgery. With electrodes strategically placed to stimulate specific areas within the brain, scientists aim to better understand neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease. Through images like these captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we gain insight into both the beauty and complexity that lie within our own minds - reminding us just how extraordinary our neural pathways truly are.
