Is there a name for the somewhat uncomfortable feeling caused by seeing something like this? I wish I could better describe it. I just somehow feel a bit strange being presented with microscopic images of brain matter. Is that normal?

Is it the shapes, similar to how patterns of holes can disturb some people? Or is it more abstract, like "unknowable fragments of someone's inner-most reality flowed through there"? Not that I have a name for it either way. The very shape of it (in context) might represent an aspect of memory or personality or who knows what.

It's definitely along these lines. Like so much (everything?) that is us happens amongst this tiny little mesh of connections. It's just eerie, isn't it?

Sorry for the mundane, slightly off-topic question. This is far outside my areas of knowledge, but I thought I'd ask anyhow. :)
