Brain cortex tissue, light micrograph
Brain cortex tissue. Light micrograph of a section through tissue from the cortex of the brain. The cortex, or grey matter, is the outer layer of the brain, and is composed mainly of nerve cell nuclei (round, grey/blue). Glial cells (neuroglia) are red. Glial cells are non-neuronal cells that provide structural support and nutrients to the nerve cells (neurons). The cortex is involved in conscious thought, language and awareness.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of brain cortex tissue, captured through a light micrograph. The brain cortex, also known as grey matter, forms the outer layer of our brain and plays a vital role in conscious thought, language, and awareness. In this image, nerve cell nuclei take center stage with their round shape and mesmerizing grey-blue hue. The red glial cells or neuroglia provide structural support and essential nutrients to the neurons that make up the cortex. These non-neuronal cells play a crucial role in maintaining the health and functionality of our nervous system. With a magnification of x160 when printed at 10cm wide, this photograph offers us an up-close glimpse into the complex world within our brains. It reminds us of the incredible intricacy that lies beneath our skull – an organ responsible for orchestrating countless functions necessary for human life. This image is not just visually stunning but also serves as a reminder of how remarkable our biological makeup truly is. It highlights both the normalcy and complexity found within our anatomy while shedding light on various aspects such as histology, neurology, and neurological processes. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring piece that sparks curiosity about ourselves and deepens our appreciation for the wonders of science.
