Wiggle, connect, and explore how brain cells communicate.

Meet Nerbie the Neuron — a playful, hands-on way to learn how signals travel in the brain. Each Nerbie has a flexible, “wiggle” axon connection and built-in magnets that let neurons snap together just like real neural circuits.

With multiple connection points, Nerbie can form not just simple chains—but branching neural networks.

But here’s the twist:
Nerbie only connects one way.

Magnets are designed so that axons connect to dendrites - and not the other way around, helping kids discover an essential rule of brain communication: signals flow in one direction.

Choose Your Color Pair:

  • Mint + Orange
  • Mint + Pink

Each 2-pack includes two Nerbie neurons in your selected color combination.

What You Can Do With Nerbie:

  • Build neural chains and branching networks – Connect multiple neurons to create pathways
  • Learn directionality – See how signals move from one neuron to the next
  • Fidget and play – Bend, twist, and wiggle the flexible connections
  • Experiment – Try (and fail!) to connect neurons the wrong way and figure out why

What’s Included:

  • 2 Nerbie Neurons (paired for immediate connection play)
  • Two dendrite connections + two axon connections per neuron
  • Flexible, articulated axons and dendrites
  • Embedded directional magnets (axon → dendrite only)
  • Magnetic cell body for surface mounting
  • Informative card describing the parts of Nerbie

Why It’s Different:

  • Not just a toy — a physical model of how the brain works
  • Encodes a real neuroscience rule (signal directionality) through design
  • Supports both linear and branching network building
  • Designed to pair with BioCompass activities or stand alone as a learning tool

Product Details:

  • Durable, lightweight construction
  • Magnets are embedded and sealed with a protective resin coating for repeated use

Age 8+ | Contains small magnets. Not for children under 3 | Designed by scientists | Made by BioCompass Kids
