.柳文濱-錯綜複雜之神經網路
( Intricate Yet Complicated Neural Network)

人類腦中含有上千億個神經細胞，細胞互相交接成無限複雜的神經網路，彼此間藉著突觸傳遞訊息，使得人類有了感覺、運動及反射功能。本作品之神經細胞取自胎鼠大腦皮質，培養至成熟後，再以神經細胞標誌MAP2抗體及DAPI細胞核染劑雙重染色而成。在螢光顯微鏡的拍攝下呈現出神經細胞結構之複雜性及特異性。科學界常利用此模式下的神經細胞，開發臨床治療神經損傷或異常用藥，如阿茲海默症、帕金森氏症及腦中風。

Thehuman brain contains hundreds of billions of nerve cells. Nerve cells connect to each other to form neuron networks and transmit information via synapses. It enables a person to sense, move and to have reflexes. This project takes samples of nerve cells from the cerebral cortex of a fetal rat for cultivation. Upon maturity, it will be dyed twice. (Microtube Associated protein 2) and the DAPI. Under fluorescent microscope the nerve cells are revealed as intricate and unique. Scientists often use this type of nerve cells sample to develop clinical treatment for neural damages and abnormal medicine intake such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson disease and stroke.
