Multiple sclerosis (MS) (autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system by dysfunction of the immune system and leads to lesions that cause motor, sensory, cognitive, visual or even sphincter disturbances). MRI of the cervical vertebrae in sagittal section.

Mirror image of a mouse brain with Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) neurodegenerative disease. A major way to assess the impact of a therapeutic potential on the central nervous system is to assess cerebellar pathology in mice. Eunice Kennedy Shriver's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) researchers have found that an experimental drug can stabilize or slow the progression of NPC1.

In this image, the researchers used a newly developed polarized light microscope to plot the spatial orientation of neurons in a thin section of the mouse midbrain. Neurons that stretch horizontally displayed in green, while those oriented at a 45 degree angle are pinkish red and those at 225 degrees are purplish blue. These colors do not involve staining or labeling the cells with fluorescent markers: the colors are emitted strictly from light interacting with the physical orientation of each neuron.

In this type of aneurysm, the inner wall of the aorta (intima) detaches from the outter wall (media). The blood invades the created space and generate a bulge that can break. The aneurysm is visible as a longitudinal furrow that extends from the thoracic aorta to the common iliac arteries.
