Fluorescence microscope cross‑section of a mouse nose, viewed head‑on against a black background. The intricate scroll‑like nasal turbinates fill the image in mirrored left‑right symmetry, outlined in bright neon colors—greens, purples, and blues—with two large oval nasal cavities glowing red and purple near the top. The colored bands highlight layers of the nasal epithelium and surrounding tissue. Credit: Datta Lab.

Harvard Medical School Scientist Wins Top Neuroscience Prize

Colorized scanning electron micrograph of the inner ear’s sensory surface, showing several tall, cone‑shaped bundles of hair‑like cilia rising from a textured field of much shorter projections. The scene is tinted blue. Each main bundle forms a tight cluster of parallel rods, with one bundle centrally prominent and others smaller in the foreground and background, illustrating the tiny hair cells essential for hearing and balance.
