As they become available, we will post the contributions of some of the fifth through eight graders who participate in the "Explain Your Brain Program."

 

Examples of student contributions:

Here is a limerick from one of our students:

The neuron's important that's true,
For all things a person will do,
Gets messages here,
Sends messages there,
Even when someone steps on your shoe!

 

Here are a couple songs from other students:

 

Song #1 (Sung to the tune of 'O Christmas Tree')
O Neuron, O Neuron, How wiggly are your dendrites?
O Neuron, O Neuron, How wiggly are your dendrites?
They wiggle when you stub your toe, or even in the frosty snow.
O Neuron, O Neuron, How wiggly are your dendrites?

Song #2 (Sung to the tune of 'I'm a Little Teapot')
I'm a little neuron long and thin,
Here is my dendrites, Here is my axon,
When I get a message, I will shout
Open up and let it out.
