This scanning #electron micrograph shows a #neuron from a #rat #brain called a Purkinje cell. Its characteristic branching projections detect information and transmit #messages that regulate the movement of #muscles. Damaged or lost Purkinje cells can lead to #neurological #disorders and #diseases. #photooftheday #science #micro #microscopic #biology #pizzarat 📷 Michael Häusser, Sarah Rieubland, and Arnd Roth
