Final version of the blue epoxy pyramidal neuronal. I went all the way to a 2000 grit for maximum smoothness.

🧠 Brain Week starts tomorrow! And to celebrate, The Virtual Brain Health Center is hosting a series of public lectures on brain health. 🙌 All sessions are focused on translating science into daily action. 🍃 How does nature support the brain? 🏃‍♀️ How does movement support cognition? 🤗 Why is social connection essential for brain health? 🐶 The science behind pets and mental well-being. 👀 On Wednesday, March 11th we’ll have a session on neuroscience of vision, optical illusions and the importance of eye health. Registration is free!

*Deadline EXTENDED!* Submit your poster abstract by the end of March 12th and join us in Montreal for an exciting glial-filled meeting!! 🇨🇦🧠🇨🇦🧠 Submission link in bio!!
