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
