An artistic interpretation of the research. The bright algae represent mossy fibers — brain connections that interact with pufferfish, symbolizing the cerebellar nuclei cells that respond variably to stimuli. The boat's timber patterns above suggest the structure of the cerebellar cortex, linked to the depths by an anchor line, portraying the connection between the cortex and nuclei. | Created by Rita Félix
