Pyramidal nerve cells, artwork C017 / 2274
Pyramidal nerve cells. Computer artwork of pyramidal nerve cells from the cerebral cortex of the brain. Pyramidal cells are so named for their triangular cell bodies. Each cell body has numerous processes (dendrites), which collect and transmit information from other nerve cells and sensory cells. Each cell body also has an axon leading from it, through which it passes information to other cells. The cerebral cortex, also known as the grey matter, is the outer layer of the cerebral hemispheres. It is responsible for the higher brain functions, such as memory, language and consciousness, and for processing sensory input

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of pyramidal nerve cells found in the cerebral cortex of the brain. The artwork, titled C017 / 2274, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the complex network that enables our higher brain functions. Pyramidal cells derive their name from their distinctive triangular cell bodies, which are depicted with meticulous detail in this computer-generated illustration. Each cell body boasts numerous dendrites - branching processes responsible for collecting and transmitting information from other nerve cells and sensory cells. Furthermore, these pyramidal nerve cells possess axons that extend outward to relay crucial information to other cells within the nervous system. The cerebral cortex, also known as grey matter, forms the outer layer of our cerebral hemispheres and plays a vital role in processing sensory input while governing memory, language skills, consciousness, and various cognitive functions. ANIMATE4. COM/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured this awe-inspiring image that delves deep into neurology and anatomy. It serves as a reminder of how these remarkable neurons work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure seamless transmission of signals throughout our central nervous system. With its blend of artistry and scientific precision, this print is an ideal addition for anyone fascinated by neuroscience or seeking inspiration from nature's architectural wonders within us all.
