Summary edit

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description A 3-dimensional image taken via the CLARITY technique showing a 1 millimeter slice of mouse brain hippocampus. The different colors represent proteins stained with fluorescent antibodies. Excitatory neurons are labeled in green, Inhibitory neurons in red, and astrocyte glia in blue.

Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) CLARITY
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) This image shows a concrete example of the type of brain imaging which is the entire subject of the article. It illustrates many key points discussed in the article, such as how only protenious structures are represented, the dimensionality of resulting images, and the role of flurocent antibody labeling in producing a brain image. Furthermore, since the topic is such a novel and complex technology, a visual aid is essential in communicating these ideas.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
No public domain images exist (largely due to the fact this technology has existed for less than a few months) and it would be entirely impossible to create a drawing representation that remains faithful to the complexities of neuroimaging of this caliber.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The image resolution is the absolute minimum while still retaining a baseline degree of image clarity (less than 50% original resolution) and this particular image need only be used for a single article, as its entire purpose is to depict the method of brain imaging it itself shows.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The image itself does not carry any commercial value, and the exact image shown here has already been widely reproduced with permission (including on government-sponsored pages) and thus has a large precedent of prior publication.
