 Goofy Brain FunDec 28, 2007
By C. Mcbride
This neuron is really awesome, it's cute and fun. Although mine is often accused of being some sort of elephant crab thing when I cover one of the eyes most of the medical professionals I work with can identify it precisely. I've tried to rub two of them together to make thoughts but it hasn't worked quite yet. I am disappointed by the fact that every neuron is identical thus even the 4 whisps at the axon terminals are the same. You really don't need more than one of these.

Unusual and Educational Meet a Neuron.Jul 30, 2011

When I first found this product on Amazon, I laughed out loud! What a cool idea with the potential for so many teachable moments! I bought this little guy for my classroom, and I know he will be a big hit in my upcoming critical thinking / reading / writing classes. (I could see him used in Health and Science classes as well as other subjects as well.) The product I received was brand new in a plastic bag; it had a clever info card attached. I felt like the product was well-made, even with his wispy little parts that another reviewer mentioned! This neuron / brain cell has sweet, big eyes that seem alert--like he is taking everything in! LOL I enjoyed the little information card, which offered some fun facts and trivia about neurons. (The information makes the card worth keeping.) It also stated how many times larger this doll was than the actual real neurons in the brain. I noticed some reviewers were concerned about the size of this neuron doll--being smaller than expected. But, hey, he is LARGE compared to other neurons of the real variety! :)
My only TINY gripe about the product is the orange cloth tags near the bottom of the new doll. (If Amazon publishes my picture on the product page, you can see this!) I understand why they are there---identification and authenticity of product. However, that orange stands out beside that gray like a beacon. I'm thinking about cutting them off, so he will look like the picture on the Amazon page.
In summary, I an impressed with this product and its potential. Teachers: buy this product if you want to talk about the brain or thinking in your class. Neuron will be an unusual, likable, memorable prop. Go on! Give your neuron a name and let him promote the cultivation and care of real live brain cells and brains! For a fun animation of Neuron, you can visit his page on the GiantMicrobes website. GiantMicrobes, at this latest writing, seems to have a Facebook fan type page as well. Neuron is my favorite Giant Microbe!
UPDATE: This item may also be available on Amazon: Giant Microbes Brain Cell (Neuron) Gigantic doll (a BIG one!) Research to learn more!

B.C. = Brain CellJul 12, 2011

I bought this for my boyfriend, who is studying for his surgical board exams.
My only complaint is that the wispy things branching off the axon terminals are a bit odd, given how thick and plush the rest of the toy is.
