Neuro-geeky

Being a crocheting neuroscientist, this was all but inevitable... Drum roll, please! May I present: the crocheted neuron...

The cell body and axon are based on existing patterns here and here.

The dendrites (above) and axon terminals with synapses (below) are braided and then respectively 'fluffed' and knotted.

Hold on to your action potentials, this neuron is about to be fired off as a birthday present to, drum roll, another neuroscientist family... Happy neurotransmitting! :-)
