I saw this human neuron in the microscope today. So pretty, so unique. This single neuron from someone's neocortex might have helped this person retrieve a memory, make a decision... or shape their personality and identity. So many possibilities... 🔬♥️🧠 #Neuroscience #SciArt

Neurons are for sure the fireworks in the brain! But these are lighting up because they are dying...by accumulating pathological tau, one of the neurodegenerative hallmarks in Alzheimer's and other dementias. Markers: pS 422 tau🔴AT8🟡NeuN🔵 #4thofJuly #FluorescenceFriday 🌠🔬

A common virus once thought harmless to humans might be linked to Parkinson's disease, a new study says. The germ, Human Pegivirus (HPgV), was found in half the autopsied brains of patients with Parkinson's, but not in any brains from healthy people. 1/
