I'm not a neuropathologist, but I think Purkinje cells look so cool! These were from a block of cerebellum used as neurofilament stain control tissue. Check out this great write up explaining the history/discovery of Purkinje cells and details about their function: https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/purkinje-cells
Also, I learned after sharing this on Twitter that this sample must have been from a baby. There is a second granular cell layer (the zone of blue cells at the bottom of the image)...evidently, this is only present at age 2 years or younger. Thanks to Dr. Jamie Walker and Dr. Greg Chamberlin for pointing this out and teaching me some brain histology knowledge! See thread here: https://twitter.com/jme_walker/status/1439645912045867010
A complete organized library of all my videos, digital slides, pics, & sample pathology reports is available here: https://kikoxp.com/posts/5084 (dermpath) & https://kikoxp.com/posts/5083 (bone/soft tissue sarcoma pathology).
