All of these images show a subset of more than 1,000 of the 120,000 brain cells (neuron + glia) reconstructed in the MICRONS project. Each reconstructed neuron is a different random color. In some of the images, a subset of the neurons have been rendered as glowing in different ways to represent the fact that this dataset includes functional recordings from a subset of neurons.
