Congratulations to the winners of this year's “Show Us Your BRAINs Contest!”
THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO SUBMITTED EXTRAORDINARY PHOTOS & VIDEOS!!!
Intact Whole-brain Imaging of Neurons
Thy1-GFP mouse brain optically cleared and imaged with the Zeiss Light-sheet Z.1 microscope using a Mesoscale Imaging System.
By Sunil Gandhi, Ricardo Azevedo and Damian Wheeler, University of California, Irvine and Translucence Biosystems
Reconstructing the Mind of a Worm
The C. elegans brain, including every nerve and muscle fiber, being reconstructed by serial-section electron microscopy.
By Daniel Witvliet, University of Toronto and Harvard University
These cells were reconstructed by artificial intelligence from Princeton University's Murthy Seung Lab using electron microscope images HHMI Janelia.

Cortical Forest
Mouse Layer V cortical neurons eYFP-labeled (Thy1-H) and imaged after CLARITY processing of a whole brain. Maximum projection with depth color coding.
By Linus Manubens-Gil and Jim Swoger, Centre de Regulació Genòmica (CRG) and EMBL Mesoscopic Imaging Facility
Radiating Neurons
4-week-old rat cortical neurons labeled for dendrites (red), axons (green), and nuclei (blue).
By Karthik Krishnamurthy, Davide Trotti, and Piera Pasinelli, Thomas Jefferson University
The Ephemeral Hippocampus
The brain is everywhere to us neuroscientists. This exquisite 'hippocampus', with delicate dendrites, is actually a waterdrop captured at highspeed.
