The internet is full of A.I & bad news now, so I'm doing my part to make it prettier with some NeuroArt ☺️. This is my favorite microscopy image from this project: 🟡 shows neural stem cells during embryonic brain development guiding neurons 🟣to their final location.🔵shows macrophages/microglia #Neuro
