ABOUT                                  IMAGES FROM RESEARCH - NEURONS AND NEURONAL PROTEINS                           IMAGE USE            
by Robert S. McNeil     
Images from research investigating neuronal migration during brain development, focusing on the Lis1, Reelin, Dab1, and DCX genetic pathways and the cytoskeletal basis of neuronal migration.  Time-lapse images show neuronal and growth cone movement.  Still images show neurons and COS cells fluorescently expressing transfected neuronal proteins and/or stained with probes for microtubules, golgi, vesicles, nuclei and cytoskeletal proteins.  The images are presented for educational purposes to stimulate interest in neuroscience research. The images are presented by Robert S. McNeil and are copyright protected.  Please send me an email  if you have an image use request or questions: robertsmcneil@gmail.com
