When Neuroscience becomes art.
Neuroanatomy and neuroscience were never so interesting, especially when you don’t have to “visualize” them on an atlas, but you can admire their beauty and perfect organization in an Asian sumi-e style.These paintings represent, in order:
- Synaptogenesis - Formation of synapses between neurons, cells electrically excitable, that allows information’s transmission.
- Hippocampus - Important part of the limbic system, correlated to the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory. In Alzheimer’s disease, it is the main region of the brain to suffer damage and waste.
- Retina - A light-sensitive layer of the eye, with neurons interconnected by synapses.
- Cortex - The outer surface layer of the cerebrum, composed of gray matter. It is so advanced in humans that it is organized in “gyri”, achieving maximum mass with minimum volume. Cortex develops memory, attention, thought, language and consciousness.
- Neurons.
Neuroscience art is realized by Greg Dunn.

The Best TIME ‘Millennials’ Cover Parodies [Click for more]
TIME Magazine’s latest cover story, in which Millennials are labeled as “lazy, entitled narcissists who still live with their parents,” is merely the latest attempt by a publication to sell more copies by fanning the old generational warfare flame. The good thing is, we’re not going to let this piece fester in our minds until our blood boils (shudder). Instead, we can enjoy something else they gave us: a cover that’s pretty easy to Photoshop. While a couple of these fight back, the majority degenerate into what we do best: get silly.
Honestly though, it seems like they read our guide to Millennials before they wrote their piece.
