Caption

A mouse embryo's head in the early stages of development. Proliferating nerve cells in the brain are labeled in pink. Images are taken at many depths and projected into a reconstructed image to make the entire head clearly visible. Techniques like this allow scientists to investigate the embryonal development from a single cell up to the fully grown animal.
