@DREW (#1), Yes, you’re of course correct about the neuron vs. synapse. I made the correction. My synapses must have been blocked. ; )

oh wow my friend and I just five minutes ago were discussing how it was sad they didn’t have one of these to represent multiple sclerosis…. now they kinda do.

Synapses are the connection between cells. This one looks like a cell itself — not just a synapse.

My brain-scientist-sweetie would love to have one of these — I hope I can get this at Kawaii in Pittsburgh…
