Abstract

We have been using the brain, and all the marvellous systems, cells and structures within it, as the basis of a community outreach project using art to engage children and young people in science. Through this, we aim to show that communication within our brains and bodies, between our own close networks of friends and families, and across disparate groups the world over, depends upon the same principles of connectivity, diversity and feedback. Ultimately, we will use the project as a springboard to engage more community organizations, hospitals and schools around the UK and beyond to add to our network of budding scientist-artists.
