An example of a brain cell I was able to cause to fluoresce. There are actually 4 cell-bodies in this image capture of a mouse brain.
Inside every adolescent brain, 86 billion neurons connect and collide to produce the most frustrating, chaotic and exhilarating changes that will ever happen to us.
#LYTMindYourHead
Lyceum Youth Theatre and Traverse Young Writers present Mind Your Head, a double bill of performances which examines the hot topic of mental wellbeing for young people today.
Each evening show will feature Brainstorm, exploring the complexities of the adolescent brain in a unique performance conceived by a playwright, a neuroscientist and partially devised by the LYT cast themselves.
Brainstorm will be paired with a selection of short scenes by the Traverse Young Writers who have responded to themes of the science and biology behind emotions, and nature verses nurture
What does happiness mean? Is it material or emotional? Controlled by circumstances or temperament?

This in vivo 2-photon image was created using viral vectors from the viral gene transfer core, a facility established in 2008 by the Picower Institute and the McGovern Institute to make viral vectors accessible to the MIT neuroscience community.

With this image, I wanted to show how magnificent and intriguing are the elementary processing units of the mammalian central nervous system. The image shows three "Layer 5 pyramidal neurons" visualized ex-vivo, in a coronal slice from the mouse brain containing the primary visual cortex. The unique morphology of these neurons is revealed by a fluorescent dye (Alex 594) injected into each cell via a patch clamp pipette (seen on the bottom-right corner of each neuron) and excited with a 820nm two photon laser. I found this image significant and interesting for the “Discovery Channel” theme because the morphology of pyramidal neurons, mostly characterized by the several dendrite branches ramifying from the cell body, is revealed after the combined use of the patch clamp technique and laser-scanning fluorescence microscopy. Indeed, the precise manipulation of the micropipette under the microscope allowed to inject the fluorescent dye in each neuron while keeping them alive for further experimental use. Strikingly, the cellular morphology tell us a lot about the function of pyramidal neurons, that - as a TV antenna does - continuously receive and compute information in the brain.

Image: E18 hippocampal neurons stained with MAPT (red) and Doublecortin (green). The two proteins overlap in the proximal dendrites, but doublecortin is more abundant in the growth cones and periphery. As a result, the periphery appears green while the more proximal regions of the cells are yellow. The single longer process of this cell, presumably an axon, has a low doublecortin content and so appears red. Blue staining is the nuclear DNA. Protocol on datasheet.

Part of a series of illustrations created for UC San Francisco to illustrate their work on the role of neurons in regulating thirst. This image shows a coronal splash, but with the tips morphing into neurons.

"L’uomo piglia a materia anche se stesso, e si costruisce, sissignori, come una casa. Voi credete di conoscervi se non vi costruite in qualche modo?E ch’io possa conoscervi se non vi costruisco a modo mio?E voi me, se non mi costruite a modo vostro?Possiamo conoscere soltanto quello a cui riusciamo a dar forma. Ma che conoscenza può essere?E’ forse questa forma la cosa stessa?Sì, tanto per me, quanto per voi.;ma non così per me come per voi: tanto vero che io non mi riconosco nella forma che mi date voi, né voi in quella che vi do io; e la stessa cosa non è uguale per tutti e anche per ciascuno di noi può di continuo cangiare, e difatti cangia di continuo. Eppure, non c’è altra realtà fuori di questa, se non cioè nella forma momentanea che riusciamo a dare a noi stessi, agli altri, alle cose. La realtà che ho io per voi è nella forma che voi mi date; ma è realtà per voi e non per me; la realtà che voi avete per me è nella forma che io vi do; ma è realtà per me e non per voi; e per me stesso io non ho altra realtà se non nella forma che riesco a darmi. E come? Ma costruendomi, appunto”

Op 10 maart 2018 vond de eerste editie van Neuron D&B plaats tijdens een NIEUWE NOR NACHT in poppodium NIEUWE NOR. Met méér dan 250 liefhebbers van donkere drum & bass-stromingen als Neurofunk was de try-out een doorslaand succes. Fotograaf Sander schoot enkele plaatjes en een volgende editie komt eraan!
