Although these images may resemble the work of artists, they were captured by scientists dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the human nervous system.

A new MRI scanner captured this image which shows the complex circuitry of the human brain. The MRI scanner was developed at the University of California, Berkeley, and allows for 10 times higher resolution than its predecessors. Researchers hope they will be able to understand the processes behind the underlying illnesses like schizophrenia and autism. | An T. Vu, UCSF; David Feinberg and Alex Beckett, UC Berkeley, and Advanced MRI Technologies
The fluorescent dots in this image represent cells attacking the brain of a person with Alzheimer’s disease. Called an astrocyte, the cell is supposed to protect brain connections but by attacking the brain synapses it can contribute to the deterioration of a person’s mind. | Charles Zachary Klein, Raquel Taddei, Teresa Gomez-Isla, Massachusetts General Hospital
This colorful image details microscopic blood flow in a rat’s brain in a good example of how new imaging tools capture higher levels of detail. The author also posted a video relating to this image (see below). | Alexandre Dizeux


This remarkable image shows the trunk of a spinal nerve with neurons highlighted in green, immune cells in yellow dots, and tumor cells shown in red and orange dots. It’s a close-up of the devastating disease neurofibromatosis Type 2. | Sara Veiga and Christine Chiasson-MacKenzie at the Stott and McClatchey Labs at Massachusetts General Hospital
This is a minuscule robot called an “Antrhobot” that scientists claim can crawl neural tissue in lab dishes to heal wounded areas. The tiny robots can be as thin as a strand of hair. | Gizem Gumuskaya et al., Advanced Science, Tufts University
This is also a robot but in this image the minuscule robots have come together to become a “superbot”. The red strands show the growth of neurons in an area where they had been removed by scientists. | Gizem Gumuskaya et al., Advanced Science, Tufts University
This brain cortex was grown by scientists so they could understand how the cortex develops and how pediatric brain tumors might also develop. | Anna Pagliaro, Benedetta Artegiani, Delilah Hendriks, Princess Maxima Center
This image taken from the brain of a mouse that scientists had implanted with breast cancer cells shows how a network of capillaries comes under attack which ultimately grows the tumor. | Sonu Subudhi and Sophie Steinbuch, Massachusetts General Hospital
