Coloured computer image of a nerve cell
Nerve cell. Coloured computer image based on laser scanning microscope sections through a nerve cell. Many dendrites (branching projections) can be seen extending from the bulbous cell body. Dendrites serve to gather information for the cell, which it then passes on as a chemical or electrical signal. Signals are passed along a large fibre called an axon (not seen). Nerve cells carry information throughout the body, from the central nervous system (CNS, the brain and spinal cord) to the muscles, and from sensory nerves back to the CNS.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured computer image of a nerve cell, providing us with an intricate glimpse into the complex world of our nervous system. The image is based on laser scanning microscope sections through the nerve cell, revealing its remarkable structure and functionality. The bulbous cell body takes center stage in this artwork, surrounded by numerous dendrites that branch out like delicate tree limbs. These dendrites play a crucial role in gathering information for the nerve cell, acting as antennas that receive signals from other cells. Once collected, this vital information is then transmitted as either chemical or electrical signals. Although not visible in this particular image, we learn that these signals are passed along an axon—a large fiber responsible for carrying messages throughout the body. Nerve cells serve as messengers within our bodies, transmitting important information from the central nervous system (comprised of the brain and spinal cord) to muscles and sensory nerves back to the CNS. With a magnification of x267 at 6x6cm size or x200 at 4.5x4.5cm size, this mesmerizing artwork allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within our own anatomy. It serves as a reminder of how intricately interconnected our bodies truly are and highlights just how remarkable each individual component can be when observed up close.
