What a fine job BrainU has done in creating an animation to teach us about our neurons and snyapses. Click to watch "The Story of the Synapse." It is educational—and fun.
From the BrainU Web site:
A unique neuroscience program for Minnesota students and teachers, BrainU provides teachers with three years of neuroscience training, materials, and staff support to bring brain science to their students. In these professional workshops, participants receive updates on the latest in neuroscience research -- discussion is complemented with hands-on activities and lab work. Teachers also receive curriculum materials to aid them in using neuroscience topics in support of Minnesota Intermediate and Middle Level standards. The program was expanded in 2008 to include high school teachers.
