They belong to neurons, neuroglial cells, and, in smaller numbers, endothelial cells of blood capillaries.<br \/>\nNeurons can be recognized by their large, spherical nuclei with loose chromatin (lightly stained) and often containing voluminous nucleoli. These nuclei are highlighted in blue when you hover the cursor over or click on the image.<br \/>\nThe cytoplasm of the neurons in this image is not very evident because it stains similarly as the remaindig tissue stained in pink.<br \/>\nThe region of the pink tissue is mostly formed by numerous axons and dendrites. Observe some fibesr that are less stained, probably axons.<br \/>\nSlender blood capillaries are highlighted in red. <\/p>\n<div onclick>\n<div class=\"image-container\">\n<div class=\"extra\">\n<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-16.jpg \" onmouseover=\"this.src=' https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-16-MO.jpg'\" onmouseout=\"this.src=' https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-16.jpg'\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Brain cortex.
