This photograph shows a slice of 7.4 millimeter-wide mouse brain. The colors in the image correspond to subsets of nerve cells treated with green fluorescent protein to ensure their visibility—the nearest nerve cells are red, with orange, yellow, purple, blue, and green denoting nerve cells further and further away from the viewer. The mouse brain is a useful mammalian model for neuroscientists because of the similarity of its basic components to those in human brains. . . . . . . . . . #brain #mouse #neuroscience #brains #science #study #human #color #smart #research #yellow #blue #purple #cells #beautiful #beauty #biology #life #lifescience
