A collage of axial MRI scans of my own brain showing diffusion tensor information (the diffusion of water molecules in and around membranes). The colours are merely different ways to visualize the section in a program called MRIcro.

Birthday celebration over run by brain slugs!
Gum paste slug, royal icing eyes, flower stamen antennae, and cherry buttercream brains on vanilla cake - scratch!
Mirrored image of a brain from a mouse with the neurodegenerative disease Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1). A major way to assess the impact of a potential therapeutic on the central nervous system is to assess cerebellar pathology in mice. Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) researchers found that an experimental drug could stabilize or slow the progression of NPC1.

Mulberry Brain fungi (Tremella moriformis) is a parasitic jelly fungus. Seen here on a dead beech tree.
Very small - this example measured no more than 5mm in height.

Niccy and I just got back from a transatlantic cruise so I've finally got some shots to post!
Here you see:
2 Veterinarians
2 Microbiologists
1 WOC RN
Out of the shot is myself, a self styled Jack of All Trades and pretty good music guesser. Did you know that the original band that did the song "Venus" was named Shocking Blue? I did.
Why the heck couldn't we win at Trivia???
This was our trivia team on the cruise. We thought we had the bases pretty well covered when it came to questions that you will only hear if you attend a pub quiz or a trivia session but Nay Nay. It seems like we came up on the short end of the stick every time, always by one or two questions.
One of the great things about cruising is the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and experiences, make a connection with them and have a great time while doing so. All the folks in this shot (Carol, Barb, Niccy, Mike, Marie, and myself are the best of the best and we (NIccy and I) are looking forward to seeing them all in the future!
Day 21
Took this at maybe 4am last night. I took a 5 hour nap yesterday so I didn't get tired until way late. Experimenting with light leaks and vignetting. I like this.

Looks pretty good on black. Lightbox!
Say hello to ... Dr. Brain! I've always had a soft spot for the "brain in a jar" concept, and now that we get a brain brick in LEGO, how could I resist? I'm quite pleased with how the design turned out.
Sorry for the poor pictures, I hope to upload better ones soon.
I asked for a Tequila shot, and after the naked goddess bartender served my drink, I noticed there was a worm in it! I suspected it may be a Pennsylvania forest worm, so I made the bartender show me the bottle (and took a pic). It was Monte Alban brand tequila. It stated on the label that it came "with agave worm". So the worm was real.
Therefore, this was a rare honor & opportunity bestowed upon me, and I would be foolish not to truck on through.
MAN that thing was chewy! I thought it would be chewy like a jelly bean, but it was chewy like fried calamari! What a trip!
tequila worm, wedding cup.

BACKSTORY: Well, that was a crazy burn! So much shit I never expected to do, at WickerMan Burn 2016!
- Damaged Carolyn's car on the way in so that it permanently squeaks, except it got better by the time we left
- Ate a tequila worm (so much more chewing than you would imagine!) when naked-goddess-bartender poured me one, randomly. (I had to check that it wasn't something from the woods)
- Watched fireworks so dangerously close that I needed first aid for a burned eyeball (could this be why the vision in that eye went bad this year?)
- Learned to weave. On a loom. And wove some. Took video of weaving.
- worried about this spleen issue I have that is starting to feel less like a pain, and more like an actual tumor that you can distinctly feel on one side (still hurting as of 2017, CT Scan found nothing)
- controlled huge flamethrowers with laserbeams & buttons
- fun stuff on top of a 20-ft wooden ziggurat art installation (Carolyn was too scared to go up!)
- Watched a firework fireball zoom past Carolyn's head (she didn't even flinch) and catch the ground on fire 1 foot from her feet
- Made out with both members of a couple (beards can be soft?)
- Bounced in a moon bounce
- Saw Carolyn fall off a bounce-house ramp, tumbling in mid air, as onlookers screamed (one massage later, she's fine)
- Played with propane bubbles (cover hand, stick in fire, watch self burn) with zero regard for my safety or even knowing what they were ("other people aren't dying when they do this, so i'll do this, whatever this is. no, i won't ask anybody any questions about it or learn anything safety-related")
- Treated 2nd degree cooking burn with actual aloe leaves someone bundled up, just in case. Only had to walk 20 feet from my camp! No relation to previous bullet point.
- Tried [REDACTED]
- Used logical deduction to guide a damsel in distress to her campsite that she could not find, even though I had never been there. (If you want to flatter me, make me feel like Aragorn. I also accept pints of cherry tomatoes & great conversation)
- Received tons of compliments about my hair & badass cartoon shirt (and about my brain) (but I get that a lot... it's the others I'm not so used to)
- Worried about Andrea in rehab. Did all kinds of crazy things to maintain connectivity to check up on her. A lotta good that did. RIP, Andrea.
- Learned to always great one specific person with "Hi, Clint!" (Her name is not Clint. This is how she prefers greetings.)
- Wore My Little Pony boxer-briefs around strangers
- Sent video from the middle of the woods with a phone that only works when plugged in (tricky)
- Met the creator of games I've played for 15 yrs, & found out that the vintage set of game pieces my aunt found me in a thrift store are so rare that he was re-telling people about our set... Even when we weren't even there. So honored! To tell the man who invented Fluxx that you had the original Fluxx back when that was the only Fluxx you could get was awesome, too.
- But to make a reference to a specific episode of 2 Stupid Dogs to the creator of Fluxx, and have him know it and repeat it back... Wow.
- Chastised by Channy for not knowing how to spell my own name on facebook, becuase she wanted pictoral proof of my story that did not believe -- that the deer shit that came out of the deer when my Bonneville was totalled (while driving back from Dirk's) had splattered onto my car in the shape of Pluto the Dog's face. I totally sent her that picture!
- Lost 1 of 2 cameras, resulting in our pictures being quite incomplete (gee, real Burnery of whoever found it to not bother giving it back. If I find someone else's camera, I guess this means I'll have to keep it to break even?)
- Learned I can consistently inhale an entire nitrous oxide cartridge in one lungful
- Randomly given 2 beers by someone, only to ask to see her face, and, after introductions, us all realizing we already know each other already and are FB friends already (wtf?! what are the odds?!)
Saw a truck covered in fire driving down the mountain like nothing was going on. Overheard: "Are you seeing that? Is that real?"
Phew? Did I get everything? I don't know! One night, I never saw my camp during the night time, at all.
White Brain fungus, Exidia thuretiana, growing in the garden. The fungus, and the dead twig it's growing on, is around 5mm across. 23 February 2024. Ealing, London, England, UK.

I volunteered for a brain imaging study, unfortunately I didn't get irradiated today and tested for radioactivity as the cyclotron was too warm, but I will get a PET scan in January.
This is an MRI scan, and no I don't have vulcan ears, those are the headphones they give you to keep you entertained.

Brain Forest Quipu is a multi-part installation at Tate Modern made up of sculpture, sound, music and video created by Cecilia Vicuña. It is an ancient South American recording and communication system made from knotted threads. At the centre of Brain Forest Quipu are two sculptures that hang 27 metres from the ceiling. They are woven together using a range of organic materials, including found objects, unspun wool, plant fibres, rope and cardboard to evoke the look of bleached-out trees and ghostly forms.
