Neurocomic tells the story of a man who haplessly gets sucked into a human brain. Wandering through a tangled forest of neurons, he encounters famous neuroscientists along the way.
Matteo Farinella and Hana Roš wrote the comic book, with Farinella doing the illustrations. They spend their working days at the University College of London on computational neuroscience and analyzing brain cells, respectively.
The objective of Neurocomic is to introduce a wider audience to the inner workings of the brain, so storytelling and entertainment are just as important as the science.
