Classic Bead Neuron

Watch Dr. Dubinsky as she builds a classic neuron with beads and string. She describes the parts as she puts them together.

Bead Neuron Throw-Down

After creating model neurons from colored beads and wire/string, BrainU participants engage in the "bead neuron throw-down" where they place their bead neurons on the floor and identify synapses and discuss how messages flow from one neuron to another. Dr. Jan Dubinsky demonstrates the throw-down in this video.
