Greg Dunn paints neurons for a living (and also is working on his doctorate in neuroscience from Penn, no big deal). His affinity for asian-inspired art and passion for neuroscience led him to create these wonderful images. 

I reblogged a few of these a while back, but I found these with better quality and wanted to highlight my favorite ones.

Can I have these in my home?

Voyeurism, flashing, nudity, exposure, vulnerability, empowerment, femininity, sexuality.

Flashing female derrieres to near-exposure and using the double exposure technique common in photography on his oil paintings, Ho Ryon Lee’s Overlapping Images collection takes the idea of exposure to a whole new level.

A new exhibit at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History lies right at the intersection of art and science, showcasing the inherent beauty of skeletons — that is, fish skeletons.

I want to go see this! Can’t wait for it to visit Los Angeles.
