Confocal image of a section through a region of the inner ear called the vestibular organ, which is part of a complex arrangement of tubes and chambers that work together to enable us to keep our bala...

Freeze fracture images of synaptic junctions in the retina of Macaca mulatta. The electron micrograph in the top panel shows two invaginating synapses between cone and horizontal cells in the outer p...

Distribution of interneurons expressing EGFP from the 5HT3 receptor promoter (Tg(Htr3a-EGFP)DH30Gsat, www.gensat.org) colabelled for the CB1 cannabinoid receptor. This image is from the pyramidal cel...

Distribution of interneurons expressing EGFP from the 5HT3 receptor promoter (Tg(Htr3a-EGFP)DH30Gsat, www.gensat.org) in the dorsal hippocampus colabelled for the CB1 cannabinoid receptor (red) and co...

Section through a neonatal dorsal root ganglion (DRG) showing the cell bodies of different populations of sensory nerves. The myelinated A fibers that detect tactile sensations are shown in red. The p...

A colorized scanning electron microscope picture of a nerve ending that has been broken open to reveal the synaptic vesicles (orange and blue) beneath the cell membrane.

Molecules designed to block the expanded CAG repeats characteristic of Huntington's disease fluoresce blue in these cultured cells and prevent the expression of the mutant proteins that cause the di...

Distribution of interneurons expressing EGFP from the GAD65 promoter in the day 14 mouse hippocampus colabelled for the CB1 cannabinoid receptor (red) and counterstained with DAPI (blue) to show the c...
