The histologic image above displays a very clear high magnification image displaying cell bodies with dendrites and axons extending from them. It should be noted that such a clear image of the nerve cells with their associated nerve fibres within the cerebrum is unusual and in most cases at a magnification of 350x a more detailed view of the types of cells found in the layers described above would be seen. A common stain for the cerebrum is Luxol blue which allows the visualisation of the plexiform cells, small to large pyramidal cells, granular cells and pleopmorphic cells. In most cases small capillaries are also usually visible, although none are present on the image above. Surrounding the neurons is the neuropil
