Purkinje nerve cells in the cerebellum

Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. Fluorescent light micrograph of Purkinje cells (green) in the cerebellum of the brain. Purkinje nerve cells have a flask-like body from which numerous highly branched dendrites extend. They are found in the grey matter (cortex) of the cerebellum, at the boundary between the granular layer (blue/red) and the molecular layer (red/green). The dendrites relay signals to the cell body, which passes them on through its single axon (green) in the granular layer. The cerebellum is a structure at the base of the brain that plays an important role in motor control, sensory perception and learning. Magnification: x200 when printed 10cm wide

Until the 1960s, public murals in Los Angeles were few and far between, isolated instances of commemoration or appreciation. Los Angeles is one of the world's mural capitals. Murals that serve as significant area landmarks have been created by both famous and anonymous artists. AFP PHOTO GABRIEL BOUYS / AFP PHOTO / GABRIEL BOUYS
