AN INTRODUCTION TO
BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR
The image on the cover illustrates a cell-staining technique called Brainbow
developed by Jean Livet and his colleagues at Harvard University. (The name is a play
on the word “rainbow.”) In this Brainbow image of a mouse hippocampus, the brain
cells are expressing fluorescent proteins. The Brainbow technique, which labels cells
by highlighting them with distinct colors, involves introducing into mice genes that
produce cyan (blue), green, yellow, and red fluorescent proteins. The “red” gene is
obtained from coral and the “blue” and “green” genes are obtained from jellyfish. The
extent to which each gene is activated varies somewhat, owing to chance factors, and
by mixes of the primary colors produces fluorescence in one hundred or more
different hues. Brainbow offers a way to image the shape and location of cells and to
describe neuronal circuits—that is, where each neuron sends its processes and how it
interconnects with other neurons.
