Deep brain stimulation and nerve cell C016 / 7203
Deep brain stimulation. Computer artwork showing an electrode sending electrical impulses to nerve cells. In the background a light micrograph (LM) of a section through grey matter in the brain, showing human nerve cells (neurones). The nerve cells consist of cell bodies (black) with large fibrous axon nerve processes leading off from them. The axons transmit nerve impulses away from the cell bodies. These nerve cells form part of the grey matter along with branched dendrite nerve fibres and small support cells (neuroglia). Dendrites conduct impulses to the cell bodies of other nerve cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate world of deep brain stimulation and nerve cells. In this computer artwork, an electrode can be seen delicately sending electrical impulses to nerve cells, showcasing the fascinating connection between technology and biology. The background features a mesmerizing light micrograph (LM) of a section through grey matter in the brain. Within this complex network, human nerve cells or neurones are prominently displayed. These neurones consist of cell bodies that appear black, accompanied by large fibrous axon nerve processes extending from them. The axons play a crucial role in transmitting vital nerve impulses away from the cell bodies. As we delve deeper into understanding the brain's inner workings, these remarkable nerve cells form an integral part of the grey matter alongside branched dendrite nerve fibers and small support cells known as neuroglia. Dendrites serve as conduits for conducting impulses to other nerve cell bodies. This image not only showcases the marvels of neurology but also sheds light on its applications such as deep brain stimulation (DBS). DBS is a groundbreaking technique used in neurosurgery to stimulate specific areas within the brain using electrodes like those depicted here. By providing targeted stimuli to these nerves, DBS holds immense potential for treating conditions such as Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders. In summary, this awe-inspiring print offers us a glimpse into the intricate beauty and complexity of our nervous system while highlighting cutting-edge advancements in neuroscience research and neurosurgical techniques like deep brain stimulation.
