A close-up of a neuron which appears to be a type of nerve cell. The neuron is in the center of the image and is surrounded by green and blue neurons. The neurons are densely packed together with some of them overlapping each other. The green neurons are elongated and have a pointed tip while the blue neurons are smaller and more densely packed. The neurons are colored in shades of green blue and purple with the green neurons being the dominant color. The blue neurons appear to be clustered together in a circular pattern while purple neurons are scattered throughout the image. The background is black which makes the colors of the neurons stand out even more. The image appears to have been taken at night as there are no other objects or lights visible in the background.
