Did you know? The Society for Neuroscience meeting is going on full swing in Chicago right now. You have to agree that neurons look good...they also carry information from the way they were specifically stained and how they are being imaged.

This image shows dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons of the vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (Vglut3) lineage (red). Neurons are also labeled with antibodies against βIII-tubulin (green) and neurofilament heavy chain (blue). Mentholsensitive Vglut3-lineage neurons are a highly excitable population that fire robust trains of tetrodotoxin-sensitive action potentials and show unique sodium channel inactivation kinetics.
