Pathological Beauty

Pathology. Life. Death. Everything in between.

Cave drawings. Bielschowsky silver stain on hippocampus. Complexly shaped tau deposits in neurons (neurofibrillary tangles) and smudgy washes of stain (photo 2) reminiscent of figures in cave drawings or glyphs. Kind of meta that these were most notable in the superficial clusters of neurons of the entorhinal cortex -an area of transition from primitive 3-layered archicortex to 6-layered isocortex 🧠🤯 #pathart #pathologicalbeauty #neuroscience #neuro #neuropathology #cavedrawings #glyph #brainglyphs https://www.instagram.com/p/B1k4LWPBKnt/?igshid=107yz4vp8hxd7

Started a sketch of the cutest white-breasted nuthatch featured recently on the @audubonsociety Instagram. Have a lot to learn about digital painting but excited to add color.

Crown jewel. 💎 Almost gemlike mineral deposition in a cerebral artery involved by atherosclerotic disease. A frightful beauty. #pathologicalbeauty #pathart #pathology #neuropathology #autopsy #histology #photomicrograph #cerebrovasculardisease #stroke https://www.instagram.com/p/ByW47OOHT-w/?igshid=1tqngggmbruqt

Eye of the beholder. 🐊 This slitlike vascular lumen in a case of pulmonary arterial hypertension resembles the alligator’s vertical pupil. Swipe to see original unedited photo.

Got my four ‘Strange Landscapes’ prints framed and almost ready for #artneureau 🧠🔬🎨 These are digitally painted photos of microscopic slides of cerebral cortex embracing the striking abstract designs that coverslip artifact can produce. #artfromartifact #pathart #neuropathology #brain #photomicroscopy (at Edmonds, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByCYMFNJb4A_KqgQvmHnScllC5c4bNOfWpsvxY0/?igshid=1399pb6yxpv79

Dark eyed junco. One of my absolute favorites.

#WIP I’ve been obsessed with a photo of diving swans by Viktor Lyagushkin and have decided to attempt to paint it. I have a lot of work to do and a lot to learn, but I’m having fun. #waterbasedoils #swans #underwater #wannabeartist (at Edmonds, Washington)

Giraffe on the brain. Cortical neuron pre-tangle (abnormal aggregate of phosphorylated tau protein). Maybe this cell was involved in the memory of a childhood carousel ride or a favorite childhood friend. 🦒 #surrealism #neuropathology #pathology #pathologicbeauty #neuropath #iphoneography #photomicroscopy #neuron #brain #tau #alzheimers
