Neurons' Response to Seizure-Induced Stress Reduces Seizure Severity

Caption

Acrylic painting of neural communication, which is depicted here as neurones reaching out and connecting with each other. The red, circular background is reminiscent of a tissue culture dish or petri dish. This image was inspired by Matisse's paintings of inter-linked dancing figures. Neurones are cells in the nervous system which carry information in the form of electrical signals and allow us to sense and respond to our environment.
