Corticospinal-like neuron — Caption

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the nucleus in yellow-green (green fluorescent protein overlaid by red) and the soma cytoplasm and multiple spiky dendrites in red. The extremely long, red axon can be seen meandering toward the bottom, led by its growth cone (green).
