    Axolotls showing nervous system components

    6928

    Axolotls—a type of salamander—that have been genetically modified so that various parts of their nervous systems glow purple and green. Researchers often study axolotls for their extensive regenerative abilities. They can regrow tails, limbs, spinal cords, brains, and more. The researcher who took this image focuses on the role of the peripheral nervous system during limb regeneration.

    This image was captured using a stereo microscope.

    Related to images 6927 and 6932.
    Public NoteSix salamanders that appear translucent and have various internal structures highlighted in green and purple.
