Capturing this video in living mouse brain tissue, we stole few intimate minutes of the neuronal migration choreography. The high resolution allows us to appreciate the beauty of their inner dance. How often thousands of hidden and infinitely small phenomena are the anonymous ground of what we agree to call “perfection” is, to me, a drive to stay humble regarding our contribution to science.
Here we looked at the endogenously fluorescent sensing units of interneurons during their journey through the developing brain. Images were acquired every two minutes along 1h20 using the resonant mode of a Nikon A1 confocal microscope through a 60x oil-immersion objective and with a 3x digital zoom. The field of view is 70x60µm and the raw gray scale pictures were turned into REDhot color coding.
