Time lapse recording showing the development of neuron polarity in a hippocampal neuron growing in vitro. This recording captures not only the formation of the axon (the longest process, oriented down...

Early stages of dendritic development and synapse formation in cultured hippocampal neurons. This multilayer image shows neurons fixed at 7 days in vitro and immunostained for the dendritically loca...

Cultured hippocampal neurons after 10 days in vitro, immunostained for MAP2, a microtubule associated protein localized to dendrites (red) but not axons, which are not apparent in the immunofluorescen...

Cultured hippocampal neurons after 14 days in vitro, immunostained for MAP2, a microtubule associated protein localized to dendrites (red) but not axons, which are not apparent in the immunofluorescen...

This multi-layer image shows the spatial relationship between filamentous actin (red) and microtubule array (green) in cultured hippocampal neurons, grown for 5 days in vitro. Actin staining (with rh...
