These pyramidal cells (neurons) are found in the cortex of the brain. They have an approximately conical cell body with a major dendrite trunk emerging from the top (the apical dendrite) and several dendrites emerging from around the base (the basal dendrites). These dendrites subdivide creating a branched net to capture incoming signals from other neurons. A greenish glow represents a signal travelling towards the cell body along several of these dendrites (especially obvious in the apical dendrite trunk). Emerging from the base of the neuron is a slender axon, which transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body. These nerve impulses are represented as a set of purple glowing points.

The dendrites of pyramidal cells are covered by small projections (dendritic spines) which are the contact point for axon terminals from other nerve cells. These contacts are called synapses.Neurons

Scientific artwork for large modern interiors such as a designer home, corporate office, biotech company, science museum, school, research laboratory, university, hospital, clinic, dental surgery or doctor's office. I am an artist based in Canberra, the capital city of Australia. I started working as a science illustrator in 1981. I studied graphic design in the late 70s. Then I worked in traditional hospital based medical illustration. Pen and ink and water colour. Then came a long stint in university based medical video production (including two years at Stanford University in the early 80's). My first award was a CINE Golden Eagle in 1984. Dozens of film and video awards followed. In 1997 I received a Graduate Diploma in Electronic...
