This confocal micrograph shows a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) explant. The dorsal root ganglion is a swelling on the dorsal roots of spinal nerves, which contains a cluster of cell bodies and synapses. ...

The developing wing bud of a four day chick embryo showing the pattern of spinal nerves growing into it. The nerves are made visible by staining a specific neural protein (3AIO monoclonal antibody, wh...

Biological samples are frequently stained with heavy metals in preparation for examining the macro, micro and ultra-structure using X-ray microtomography and electron microscopy. A single X-ray microt...

Dorsal root ganglion nerve cells stained to reveal the microtubules (green) and actin filaments (red). The axon shaft contains bundles of microtubules that give structural support and carry cargo (pro...

Dorsal root ganglion cells from embryonic mice were cultured and stimulated to produce cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Cultures were immuno-stained for neuron-associated tubulin (green), COX-2 (red) and DNA...

Following in vivo 2-photon imaging of an area of spinal cord with chronic experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a correlated block-face SEM volume was collected of an area near blood vessels disp...

Zebrafish embryo showing the alignment of cells involved in the formation of the neural tube, which will become the spinal cord and brain.

Human spinal cord neurosphere (a culture system composed of free-floating clusters of neural stem cells) captured with widefield Illumination and deconvolution. Honorable Mention, 2005 Olympus BioScap...
