Walnut pyramidal #neuron of the day.

New version of the neuron humming bird. It is composed of 12 independent #neuron cells manually cut out of wood. This piece will be donated to @SfNOttawa for an auction 🇨🇦. The back is bubinga wood. The humming bird is made out of walnut, padauk, maple (obviously 🍁) and cherry woods.

I made a 3D model of an hippocampal pyramidal neuron using walnut wood.

Excited to present my newest piece “Hippocampe neuronal #2”. A seahorse made out of 16 individual neurons manually cut out of various woods: walnut, cherry, padauk and maple.

... In the brain, it appears that many Wdr45 KO axon terminals are massively swollen, presenting with spheroids. These spheroids are sometimes the size of several nuclei, they appear in all brain areas, and as soon as 14 days after birth for certain cells.

The most striking takeaway from our BPAN model is that WDR45 loss impacts many neuron subtypes: Purkinje, dopaminergic, noradrenergic, and most, if not all, interneuron subtypes. Their cell bodies look totally normal (!), but their axon terminals are really messed up...

This BPAN model shows vocalization defects in the first few days after birth, as well as long-lasting motor defects appearing after 3 months. Many defects are also seen in heterozygous females, which models the BPAN patient population most accurately.

Excited to share a new article from the lab, with grateful support from @SanfordResearch and @Dont4getMorgan!

Dorsal root ganglion #neuron sculpture. Made with walnut wood. #sciart.

Three brain cell sculptures about to travel the US of A. Medium spiny neuron, Purkinje cell and a microglial cell I really like. #sciart

I had tried to replicate this one because it looked so good!

I just finished an attempt at making a mitochondrion keychain. What do you think? #cellbio #carving

First brain cell of the year carved out of walnut wood. A microglial cell. It is 18in long and 8in wide.

Another day, another glial cell. This time, #microglia. This is the natural wood color, padauk wood (closeup highlighting the cell body in comments). #biology #art

This is the first time I was asked to make this #astrocyte piece in cherry wood and I really like it. I worked on hard on making smooth curves. #neuro #art.

Another #neuron piece I made with walnut. This one is pretty big. It looks great against the light.
