Amygdala microscopy

Caption

Two images of nerve endings in the amygdala (where fear signals are received and interpreted). On the left, there are no labels and two distinct vesicles in the nerve endings can be seen. On the right, neuropeptide sensors are labeled in dark color, and they can be seen inside large dense core vesicles.
