Research and drawings!!

Well first of all hello and apologies for getting these up slow, I have been putting together images for an aluminium book and sorting out my new (second hand) computer which was not behaving itself, haven't read through everything you have given me recently yet, butI have put up a lot of the stuff I have have been looking at and drawing from plus drawings onto a photobucket account:

Would be cool to know what you think on both research and drawings. Plus if you know of any other cool clear images and or names of stemcells and neurons I could google for more indpiration :)

Put them up here too :)

    There are two albums research and drawings which can be accessed through the albums box on the left hand side.

    Re Drawings:

    The astrocyte/knives and forks one is good. The shape is really nice, it looks like a very active,energetic cell.

    I prefer the dopamine neuron with the chemical symbol to the smiley faces on dopamine - perhaps it's because the yellow on green print is quite hard to see? (although thinking about it that might work better on metal.)
    The chemical symbol one has the green stippling round the edges fading to yellow which I think looks really good - it reminds me of the way fluorescent staining looks under the microscope.

    Also, summing up the actions of dopamine in one symbol is hard. Serotonin is more related to happiness/absence of depression - dopamine is important in anticipation/addiction and in movement.

    Re Research:

    The pictures look good, there seems to be a nice range of shapes. There are a lot more neurons than stem cells, but neurons are way more variable in shape anyway so that's probably good. The glial pictures are good, the contrast in shape/function with neurons is clear.

    I notice you're concentrating on dopamine - maybe google for glutamate, serotonin, GABA, acetylcholine, Substance P, (all neurotransmitters), or for different shapes look for purkinje neurons, bipolar neurons, retinal neurons.
