Neuron Modeling Kit©

Building neurons invites your students to consider how the chemical and electrical signals in their brains are transported. Constructing neurons with various sized models lets students: Distinguish between multipolar, bipolar, and unipolar neurons and interneurons Add myelin sheath pieces to explore two types of neuroglia in our nervous systems Examine the overall effect on neuronal firing at excitatory and inhibitory synapses These elegantly designed models allow students to create a network of neurons and develop questions about structure and function. A perfect complement to the Synapse Construction Kit© for any study of cell communication or neuroscience concepts.
