Pyramidal neurons, light micrograph
Pyramidal neurons, light micrograph with Nissl staining. This sample, from a human brain, shows two pyramidal neurons. Pyramidal neurons (nerve cells) have a triangular cell body with dendrites leading from two of their corners and one long axon (bottom) extending from the other. The cell nuclei (round, dark) are visible here. Information from the dendrites is processed by the cell body and then relayed through the axon to other cells. Magnification: x600 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of pyramidal neurons found in a human brain. The image, captured using a light microscope and enhanced with Nissl staining, reveals two pyramidal neurons in stunning detail. These nerve cells possess a distinct triangular cell body, adorned with dendrites extending from two corners and a long axon protruding from the other. The round and dark cell nuclei are clearly visible within this microscopic view, offering insight into the inner workings of these remarkable cells. Pyramidal neurons play a crucial role in information processing within the nervous system. They receive signals through their dendrites, which are then processed by the cell body before being transmitted to other cells via the axon. With an impressive magnification of x600 when printed at 10 centimeters tall, this print allows us to appreciate both the complexity and elegance of our neural architecture. It serves as a reminder of how intricately interconnected our brains are and highlights the incredible biological machinery that enables us to perceive, think, and interact with our environment. This image is not only visually striking but also holds significant scientific value for researchers studying neurology, histology, or any field related to understanding the human brain's anatomy and function.
