Glutamic acid crystals, light micrograph
Glutamic acid crystals, polarised light micrograph. Glutamic acid is an non-essential amino acid, in which it can be synthesised by the body and does not need to be obtained from food. It has an important role in nerve function and brain signalling, where it is a precursor to the molecule GABA. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter (nerve signalling chemical) that is an integral component of the central nervous system (CNS)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of glutamic acid crystals under polarised light micrograph. Glutamic acid, a non-essential amino acid, holds great significance in our body as it can be synthesized internally and does not necessarily require external sources from food. Its role in nerve function and brain signaling is crucial, acting as a precursor to the molecule GABA. GABA, short for gamma-aminobutyric acid, serves as an inhibitory neurotransmitter within the central nervous system (CNS). The vibrant colors displayed by these crystals symbolize the complex chemistry and signaling processes occurring within our biological systems. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the intricate web of biochemical reactions that enable our neurons to communicate effectively. Each crystal represents a vital piece in this puzzle-like structure of neurobiology. The multi-colored arrangement of these crystalline structures evokes curiosity about how signals travel through our nerves and contribute to various bodily functions. This visual marvel captured using a light microscope allows us to appreciate the microscopic wonders hidden within our own bodies. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the world of biology and neuroscience through this remarkable photograph.
