Photomontage of superposed confocal microscopy images of the adult mouse brain (hippocampus), showing microglia (white), astrocytes (blue), some immature neurons (red), endothelial cells (yellow) and stem cells (green). Besides its artistic nature, this picture shows the diversity and entanglement of brains cells. These cells also constitute the neurogenic niche, which helps stem cells produce new neurons in the adult brain. Image size: 400 x 400 micrometers.
The brain is generally considered as network of neurons. This image shows the diversity of cells that also constitute it: Astrocytes (blue), microglia (white), stem cells (green), blood vessels (yellow) and some immature neurons (red). The complexity of this picture nicely represents the complexity of the cellular interactions occurring in real time in the brain. ¦ Image#1_269
