This is an image taken by the McNeil lab of a hippocampal growth cone exploring.  Growth cones are the part of the neuron (from the axon which has to make connections) that grow outward to seek out other neurons and make connections/synapses.  For more information, see this post.

This image is property of the McNeil lab at Baylor.
