Celestial Memories: Hippocampal Neurons in the Cosmos

"Celestial Memories" presents three different hippocampal neurons that look like they are floating in a cosmic setting. We used fluorescent markers that show vibrant colors, highlighting the complexity of these neurons, key players in learning and memory. Set against a starry backdrop of fluorescent puncta, the neurons resemble constellations, symbolizing the way our memories connect and shape our understanding of the world. This artwork merges the science of the brain with the vastness of space, reflecting the importance of understanding how these neurons communicate.
