isocortex: I think the brain is extremely beautiful, especially when technology allows us to capture images such as these. The first picture is a stain of a mouse hippocampus. The detail is stunning. I want it framed on my wall. The second picture is a stain of neurons in the cerebellum. To get this effect special proteins are injected into cells to make them glow. The third picture is an up close stain of an individual neuron, and the last shows a network of blood vessels that feed oxygen to the brain. -- source link
