This is an image taken by the McNeil lab of a hippocampal growth cone exploring. Growth cones are the part of the neuron (from the axon which has to make connections) that grow outward to seek out other neurons and make connections/synapses. For more information, see this post.
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But I’m a growth cone
So let’s make a synapse maybe?
Omg yes. Probably the nerdiest thing I’ve ever seen but I’m in love.
