Hippocampal neurons. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of neurons (nerve cells, orange) in the hippocampus of the brain. Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to the rest of the body. The hippocampus is the part of the brain responsible for long-term memory. Magnification: x1300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.
