Microscopy image

This microscopy image of brain cells grown in a Petri dish show the intricate connections among neurons (in green) and astrocytes (in red). These connections allow cells to communicate with each other and to determine our actions and thoughts. Here, they also appear to be part of a painting by the American artist Jackson Pollock.
