One of my pages hold the text

I could almost see it waiting for me patiently, like a close friend. But then it slipped my mind again

One of the ways I tried to visually interpret this verbal simile is by a drawing of two friends hugging. But after considering the text a bit more, I decided to go for a drawing of two friends preparing to greet and hug that never gets resolved. I feel satisfied that this paints a better picture of presque vu, feeling like you can almost remember something but then failing to.

Then I put them on opposite sides of the spreads’ gutter. I think I will keep it like this.

Representing neuroplasticity in weird visual analogies. Action potential electrical signals in the brain are like wave pulses. Neurotransmitters transferred between neurons are like stars. Postsynaptic receptors are like hands. Less wave pulses aka ction potential means less stars aka neurotransmitters which means less receiving hands aka post synaptic receptors, see?

Neurons losing dendrites and axon terminals due to little use is like unwatered withering trees. See?

Maybe I am making it more confusing…but it makes for visual analogies which happens to be a useful studying memory aid. Evidence:
