Caption: At 72 days, stem cells derived from human blood formed an early retina structure, with specialized cells resembling photoreceptors (red) and ganglion cells (green) located within the outer and inner layers, respectively. Nuclei of cells within the middle layer are shown in blue. These layers are similar to those present during normal human eye development. Photo: Courtesy of Gamm laboratory

Caption: This study found reduced connectivity between an area of prefrontal cortex (PFC, red) and the amygdala (blue).  The white matter pathway connecting the two structures (the uncinate fasciculus) is shown in green.

Caption: The video shows interactions between microglia (yellow) and dendritic spines (green) in the brain of a living mouse. Each frame is taken 5 minutes apart. The cell body of the microglia in the upper right corner is stable throughout the imaging session, but the microglial processes (looking like tentacles) are extremely dynamic, perpetually changing their morphology and dynamic interactions with small and transient dendritic spines over a span of minutes.
