1.) Campana cell
Science glows bright,
Spick and span, this might help you recall the light.
Scientists with advancements that one can tell,
Say hello, to the newly discovered Campana cell.
Remove the cluster compared to a diffuse nebula,
Science brings us a brand-new type of nerve cell found in the retina.
Filtered and bright,
These stay active for 30 seconds right after a 10-millisecond flash of light.
The beauty of a neuron projected,
The act of your eyes holding onto the episode much longer than expected.
Short and sweet, with a little treat,
A new neuron, and this could rewrite what the eye and brain process without a defeat.
No magic to the infidel,
A sixth class of retinal neurons, and a classification would tell,
A granted wish and a bell,
A lovely book with vision as a spell,
A visit in a nutshell,
Hi! I am the Campana cell.
