The Birth of Action Potential

The title of this submission is ‘The Birth of Action Potential’ as a reference to the famous painting by Michelangelo, ‘The Creation of Adam’. Though not the most accurate description of how the process actually works, I believe that it is a simple way to showcase a complex process of a neuron transmitting its message via neurotransmitters from its axon terminal to the dendrite of a nearby neuron. This is a digital work that tries to represent the beauty of the complex structure that is the brain by zooming in on a simple action that drives people to be who they are.
