Coloring Image
Histological section of the cerebral cortex stained with H&E, showing its layered organization. From the surface inward: pia mater, molecular layer, external granular layer, external pyramidal layer, internal granular layer, internal pyramidal layer, and multiform layer. White matter lies beneath these layers. Insets highlight cell types: a pyramidal cell in the internal pyramidal layer, a fusiform cell in the multiform layer, and a granular cell in the granular layer. The image illustrates the structural arrangement and neuronal diversity of the cerebral cortex.
