a: Axon terminal ~
b: the root system of a tree
What: "The structure and development of a neuron is similar to that of a tree. Each neuron has one axon with many tails which are called axon terminals. Axon terminals are like the root system of a tree; locus of exchange of electro chemical impulses. They extend out from the cell body like the trunk of a tree through the axon electrochemical impulses delivered throughout the neurons."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
