Cerebellum from a brain. Multiphoton fluorescence micrograph (MFM) of a section through the cerebellum from a human brain, showing the inner white matter (purple) and outer grey matter (green). The white matter mainly contains axons, which pass nerve impulses to the brain's outer cortex. The grey matter is made up of two layers of neurons (nerve cells), the molecular layer and the granular layer. Here, glial cells in the grey matter are stained green and cell nuclei in the white matter are stained purple. The cerebellum controls sensory perception, motor control and coordination. Magnification: x100 when printed at 10 centimetres across.
