February 2015: Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope Image of myenteric plexus of the rat distal colon with a fine structure of nerve fibers.
Submitted by: Dr Anna V Golubeva, Post-Doctoral Researcher Neurogastroentorology Lab, Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre.
Dr Anna Golubeva is a postdoctoral researcher in Professor John Cryan’s research group. based in the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre, her recent study on the intestinal innervation in prenatally stressed animals was carried out in conjunction with the Department of Anatomy and Neuroscience.
The attached image depicts the myenteric plexus of the rat distal colon with a fine structure of nerve fibers innervating underlying circular muscle layer. Colonic tissue was stained against choline acetyltransferase; the image was taken using confocal fluorescence microscopy.
