Thanks Nicky's Mum!!!!!!

Nicky's mum is a Dr who found this model of the brain for us to pull apart, discuss and put back together. 

We had a great time with and could all put it back together in our groups.

Thanks soooooooooooo much for letting us have a go with it.




 


Someone thought they could see a neuron - but as we didn't have a microscope we knew they couldn't.

Instead we built our own neurons and the many dendritic connections between them.

Some people were neurons, other people were the dendritic connections - some were really fast as they had myelin coatings - others were slower.



We  also even killed off a few pathways so they didn't work anymore - it was slower but we could still get the message through in the end.
