Descripción
I was looking for a somewhat realistic model of a neuron/brain cell to use as a christmas ornament, like a star. As I couldn't find anything suitable, I decided to create my own, based on this confocal microscopy picture of an astrocyte, by Gerry Shaw.
Astrocytes are (star-shaped) brain cells, but they are not neurons. Instead they are part of so-called glia. This particular one was grown in a tissue culture, so the flat shape is not totally unrealistic. I did simplify quite a bit, though, and took some liberties in giving the cell body some plasticity, that is not apparent from the photograph.
