“Stranger in a Strange Land”
Author: Dr. Emily Wilson
Lab: Dr. Guillermina López Bendito
"A thalamic neuron (green) establishes synaptic connections (yellow and magenta) in a field of cortical astrocytes. Taken on Microsystems Thunder Imager."

“Poking Eggs, Scrambling Chickens (Neurally Speaking)”
Author: Eduardo Fernandez Ortuño
Lab: Dr. Victor Borrell
"Studying how neural progenitors generate neurons, both labelled with GFP electroporation (orange), allows us to better understand the fascinating bird brain. In cyan, cells in mitosis. Image acquired with a Leica Microsystems SPEII microscope."

“Fluorescent Tracing of M-Phase Apical Progenitors in the Embryonic Mouse Thalamus”
Author: Lorenzo Puche
Lab: Dr. Guillermina López Bendito
"Coronal section of the embryonic mouse thalamus following FlashTag injection at E11.5 shows apical progenitors in M-phase labeled at the ventricular surface. After 12 hours, labeled progenitors and their daughter cells reveal early lineage development through fluorescent tracing. Images were acquired with a Leica Microsystems K5 camera mounted on a Leica Microsystems DMi8 microscope with large volume computational clearing post processing."

“Dark Shadows”
Author: Adrián Cuevas
Lab: Dr. Angela Nieto
"The blood-brain barrier protects the brain from harmful substances and regulates the passage of nutrients. It is formed by endothelial cells (red), mural cells (white) and astrocytes (grey). Image acquired with a ZEISS Microscopy LSM880 super resolution microscope."

“Thunderbolt”
Author: Adrián Cuevas
Lab: Dr. Angela Nieto
"During aging, refined control of endothelial cells (blue) and surrounding mural cells (white) is essential. During neurodegenerative diseases this may be impaired. Image acquired with a ZEISS Microscopy LSM880 super resolution microscope."

“Green is the coldest color”
Author: Manuela de las Casas
Lab: Dr. Elvira de la Peña, Dr. Ana Gomis, Dr. Félix Viana
"Paw of a transgenic mouse with GFP linked to the TRPM8 gene. Peripheral sensory neurons expressing the cold receptor TRPM8 shine in green when stimulated with light. Acquired with a Leica Microsystems MZ16 FA."

"Light Scars: The Invisible Art of Remyelination"
Author: Dr. Alice Staffa
Lab: Dr. Isabel Perez Otaño
"After a demyelinating injury, the brain does not give up: it activates its hidden healing power. Oligodendroglial cells (in magenta, Olig2) begin to proliferate and differentiate (in emerald, Bcas1) to initiate repair. This is remyelination: a cellular dance that attempts to reweave what was broken. Image acquired with a Leica Microsystems SPEII confocal microscope."

"Blackout"
Author: Raúl Jiménez
Lab: Dr. Angela Nieto
"Metastatic breast cancer tumor in which the bright zones represent enrichment in immune system cells. The more such zones there are, the better the therapies work! Data acquired on the Vizgen MERSCOPE platform."
