This vibrant and dramatic scientific visualization depicts an entirely unique view into a neural synapse, the microscopic gap between two nerve cells in the brain. Communication between one neuron and another takes place via neurotransmitter molecules that are released from pre-synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft and bind to specific receptor molecules on the post-synaptic membrane. The molecules in this case are GABA neurotransmitter molecules. GABA molecules exert a complex effect but are primarily calming and pain reducing. This painting is representative of Audra's work. She is known for taking highly unusual and fresh perspectives on the visualization of scientific subjects. This painting is available as a numbered, limited edition (20), museum quality giclée print on archival fine art paper.
