Animation shows electrical activity in neuron Bio
Sarah D’Angelo is graduating with a bachelor’s degree in biology, minoring in psychology this May 2021 from Rutgers University, Camden. She is also doing independent research in Dr. Nathan Fried’s neuroscience of chronic pain lab at Rutgers, where she is conducting a meta-analysis of ethically approved rodent pain studies to identify how the way we talk about and study pain as scientists impacts translational success rates of new pain therapeutics. Sarah is currently in the application process to start a neuroscience PhD program to study the biopsychosocial aspects of pain. As a pain patient herself, she enjoys using art to communicate science to the public.

This piece demonstrates the electrical impulses coursing through a neuron. To create it, Sarah first sketched out the design with pencil and paper. She then edited it using a digital drawing software to add color and detail. Lastly, she added the animations digitally using Adobe software. © NatureVolve digital magazine. All rights reserved.
