Nerve cells in the brain showing a tree-like structure. Their arrangement in this image hints at a brain shape, with the small cell at the bottom forming the cerebellum and the three larger cells above creating the cerebral hemispheres. 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.

Australia
I am an artist based in Canberra, the capital city of Australia. I have been working as a science illustrator since 1981. I create digital paintings, 3D computer models, animations, and 3D stereo imagery. Currently making abstracts and semi-abstracts. I also write Science Fiction books (Time Aerials, Yesterday Makers, Ecstatic Automata, and Lethe’s Road). My latest abstracts are based on ideas from my books. I began studying graphic design in the late 70s. After that I worked in traditional hospital-based medical illustration, using pen and ink and water colour. Then medical video production including illustration, animation, scripting, storyboarding, and directing. AWARDS: My first a ward was a CINE Golden Eagle in 1984 while working at Stanford. 39 more awards followed for the videos I worked on. 35 of those were for videos that I directed, including Gold at Worldfest Houston, and Silver at the British Medical Association. My images have appeared widely, from Playboy to Nature, in Scientific American, New Scientist, and the BMJ, on the BBC and in Reader's Digest, and in the Richard Dawkins book The Greatest Show on Earth.
