Clusters of neurons (green) in the peripheral nervous system are essential for transmitting sensory information. A subset of myelinated sensory neurons (blue) express the sodium channel NaV1.1 (red).

Neurons in the motor cortex firing action potentials as a person speaks.

Two different markers for dying neurons (green and red) can be seen accumulating phospho-tau, in contrast to healthy neurons (blue), in a monkey model of Alzheimer's disease.

Capturing neural stem cells differentiating into neurons and glia.

Hippocampus and lateral geniculate nucleus of the neonatal monkey brain collected as part of a project investigating the impact of Zika virus infection. Neurons are shown in green and astrocytes in purple.

Expression of a light-sensitive ion channel, ChR2, in memory-encoding neurons of the dentate gyrus subregion of the hippocampus. Blue light application can activate these neurons and trigger the retrieval of the specific memory they encode.

Radial glia (cyan) serving as a roadmap for neurons (green) to find their position in the cortex during development. Nuclei in dark blue and microglia/macrophages in purple.

3D reconstruction of glial cells (white and green) chasing neurons (blue) infected with SARS-CoV-2 (red).

Neurons were tagged with fluorescent proteins (blue) in the ventral hippocampus (pink) during a state of high anxiety. This label can last for the lifetime of the mouse to facilitate circuit-based understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Murine retina stained to identify the locations of two different exchanger subtypes involved in ionic homeostasis (green and orange) in a subset of cells (nuclei; blue).

The image, acquired with a high-resolution scanning electron microscope, illustrates an astrocyte latching onto the grooves of a nanoporous gold surface.

Diffusion MRI fiber tracking of the fornix (yellow) and cingulum bundle (blue) in a human brain displayed on a T1-weighted MRI scan with EEG waves that were collected during memory retrieval shown in the background.
