The shape of GnRH neurons

GnRH neurons (length of dendrite) in transgenic mice.

In the transgenic mice used by Dr Rebecca Campbell’s team, GnRH neurons in the brain give off a green fluorescent glow. The yellow/red-coloured neuron has also been filled with neurobiotin (which glows red) to show how long its dendrites are.
