Richard Wingate, 2011 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition® (2012) CIL:41658, Gallus gallus, interneuron. CIL. Dataset

Confocal micrograph of “lost” axons - chick interneurons labeled with green fluorescent protein that were transplanted from older into younger embryos.
When they encounter unfamiliar territory, the axons create these trails as they try to recognize their pre-programmed trajectory. This image was first published in
Developmental Biology 297, 508-21. Honorable Mention, 2011 Olympus BioScapes Digital
Imaging Competition®.

共聚焦显微镜下的‘丢失’轴突——绿色荧光蛋白标记的鸡类中间神经元，这些神经元由老胚胎移植至幼胚胎。当它们遭遇陌生领地时，轴突在尝试识别其预先设定的轨迹过程中，会形成这些轨迹。此图像首次发表于《发育生物学》297卷，第508-521页。荣获2011年Olympus BioScapes数字成像竞赛®荣誉提名。
