Hippocampal neuron fluorescent micrograph
Hippocampal neuron. Fluorescent micrograph of a neuron (nerve cell, centre) from the hippocampus, surrounded by glial cells (support cells). Spectrin, a cytoskeleton protein that lines the intracellular side of plasma membranes is red. Tubulin, another cytoskeleton protein, is green. The cytoskeleton is responsible for intracellular transport, structure and motility of the cell, as well as segregating the chromosomes during nuclear division. The hippocampus is the part of the brain responsible for long-term memory

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fluorescent micrograph of a Hippocampal neuron, the nerve cell responsible for long-term memory in the brain. The intricate details of this neuron are brought to life through the use of different colors to highlight specific proteins and structures within the cell. In this image, we can see the central Hippocampal neuron surrounded by glial cells, which provide support and protection. The red color represents spectrin, a cytoskeleton protein that lines the intracellular side of plasma membranes. On the other hand, tubulin, another cytoskeleton protein crucial for cellular transport and structure, is depicted in green. The cytoskeleton plays a vital role in maintaining cell shape and facilitating movement within neurons. It also aids in segregating chromosomes during nuclear division. This micrograph beautifully captures these essential functions at play within this specialized nerve cell. Through immunofluorescence techniques and advanced microscopy technology, Science Photo Library has provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the intricate world of cellular biology. This print serves as a reminder of both the complexity and beauty found within our own brains.
