"The Dance of Forgetting: Disconnection of Interneuronal Pathways" - impressions created with oil paint and digital touches. This collection represents the disconnection of interneuronal pathways that occurs during the process of forgetting. These artworks depict the internal struggle of the mind, where traces fade away, memories become pale, and the intricate dance of memory is portrayed, offering a narrative that defies the passage of time.
The process of forgetting in the mind is based on the changes in synaptic connections between neurons. Memory formation and maintenance are associated with the strengthening and weakening of synaptic connections. In the process of forgetting, however, these connections weaken or completely disconnect. Information transfer between neurons in the brain is disrupted, and memories fade.
These artworks serve as a visually captivating reflection of brain chemistry and synaptic plasticity. The disconnection of interneuronal pathways symbolizes the gradual loss of memory and recollections over time. Like a complex dance, the essence and meaning of memories gradually vanish, giving rise to a story that defies the flow of time.
