It took me about 2 hours to finish my product. At first I was going to do a clay model of a brain using different colors of clay to highlight the different parts of the brain that are affected by a mental disorder. But after me and my grandfather talk, we decided it would be best for me to make a model of a brain scan.
Depression is related to a low level of neurotransmitters in the brain. When the brain is scanned it highlights the amount of neurotransmitters in the brain. This is one way for doctors to diagnose patients with depression.
I made two clay brains. I molded them into the shape of a brain, but since it is a scan, I didn't have to make them look like one, just make them have the shape of one. I then waited for the clay to air dry. Then I used another color of clay to represent the neurotransmitters. The difference is more than obvious. it is plain and easy to see the difference between the scan of a normal brain and the scan of a depressed brain.
