Inside every adolescent brain, 86 billion neurons connect and collide to produce the most frustrating, chaotic and exhilarating changes that will ever happen to us.
#LYTMindYourHead
Lyceum Youth Theatre and Traverse Young Writers present Mind Your Head, a double bill of performances which examines the hot topic of mental wellbeing for young people today.
Each evening show will feature Brainstorm, exploring the complexities of the adolescent brain in a unique performance conceived by a playwright, a neuroscientist and partially devised by the LYT cast themselves.
Brainstorm will be paired with a selection of short scenes by the Traverse Young Writers who have responded to themes of the science and biology behind emotions, and nature verses nurture
What does happiness mean? Is it material or emotional? Controlled by circumstances or temperament?

Neurons that innervate muscles associated with breathing are essential for life, but can be negatively influenced by sickness or inflammation. This immunohistochemical confocal image at 100X magnification depicts a rat spinal cord cross section showing a few of these neurons (in blue), along with microglia (in red, the main immune cells in the central nervous system preventing infection and disease) and an enzyme involved in the response to inflammation, p38 MAPK (in green). Here, we show that rats treated with repetitive low oxygen episodes during the night (similar to episodes experienced by people with sleep apnea) had high expression of p38 MAPK protein. This suggests p38 MAPK may be a key molecule in undermining breathing after multiple low oxygen episodes and initiation of inflammation in the central nervous system.

El MUNCYT acoge Big Neurona, un museo móvil interactivo con forma de neurona gigante. Esta instalación ha sido inaugurada por el alcalde de A Coruña, Don Xulio Ferreiro. Big Neurona es un laberinto de espejos en el que se muestran las diferentes partes que componen las neuronas y se realizan juegos y otras actividades. Estará abierta al público desde el 22 de enero al 26 de junio

Whew, I'm so glad my neurons started firing before midnight, I've been planning out my 365 Community Fish Day photo for ages, and I'd have been really sad to have forgot all about it and missed the whole thing. And forgot it I did - I've been in bed with asthma today, feeling like hell. But just now, at 10:30 or so I realised what day it was, quickly took down my previous 365 shot & arranged my fish on my corkwall to take this. Here you see them swimming with a Crankbunny mermaid puppet and two Maid of Clay cat ornaments... and two of the pushpins came from Yumyumbuttons. It's really a bit of an Etsy collage, this :-)
Anyway, I'm glad I remembered in time to put it together. Find them all here.
We used 3D public domain data from Eyewire (a citizen science game that maps real neurons as players progress). This was created for Pint of Science, to accompany a talk in Cambridge.

Blue Neuron is a beautiful kinetic light installation built from reworked heat-treated plastic bottles. Zac’s inspiration comes principally from nature. Working in a wide range of media, from discarded plastic bottles to laser projections, his works often comment on issues such as sustainability, environmental degradation and consumption.
