Corpora amylacea, light micrograph
Corpora amylacea. Light micrograph of a section through the choroid plexus of brain, showing two corpora amylacea (purple, bottom). These small masses are a normal find in ageing brains. Their function is unknown. The choroid plexus is a network of capillary blood vessels that is found in each of the four ventricles (fluid-filled cavities) of the brain. Magnification: x200 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Gschmeissner showcases the intricate beauty of corpora amylacea, found in the choroid plexus of the brain. The image depicts a close-up view of two purple-colored corpora amylacea against a white background. These small masses are commonly observed in aging brains and their purpose remains enigmatic to scientists. The choroid plexus, an intricate network of capillary blood vessels within the brain's four ventricles, is where these mysterious structures reside. With a magnification level of x200 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the delicate details and unique shape of corpora amylacea. The natural pattern formed by these formations adds an element of intrigue to our understanding of human age-related changes in brain tissue. As we ponder over their existence, questions arise regarding their function and significance within the complex workings of our minds. Gschmeissner's expert use of light micrography captures not only scientific precision but also artistic elegance. This full-frame composition emphasizes both the scientific importance and aesthetic appeal that can be found even in microscopic elements such as corpora amylacea. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, it serves as a reminder that there is still much left to uncover about the intricacies hidden within our own brains – mysteries waiting patiently for curious minds like ours to unravel them.
