Description

Nina asks sound neuron, beautiful Belle, to help her find out how speakers work. At Nina's workshop they open up a speaker and find out what's inside, before heading off to another exciting location. In this noisy episode, we'll see beads dancing to music and Nina doing a lot of shouting. Nina is a neuroscientist who works at the Glasgow Science Centre. She is fun, bubbly, but has the presence and authenticity of a real scientist who knows her stuff. The Neurons are characters who live in Nina's brain and, like real human neurons, send messages from her brain to the parts of her body which control her senses. Nina has some dialogue with the neurons, but most of their activity and chatter is amongst themselves, commenting on the action while 'looking out' from Nina's brain. The first series began on 26 February 2007 and ended on 30 March 2007. The 2nd series began airing on Cbeebies on 31 March 2008 and ended on 2 May 2008. It was followed by a third, this time called Nina and the Neurons: Go Eco!, on 13 June 2008 as part of CBeebies' year-long green initiative called EcoBeebies, which ended on 15 August 2008. A fourth series called Nina and the Neurons: Go Inventing started on 18 May 2009, where Nina invites several young inventors to her lab to discover how things work by inventing their own versions. It ended on 19 June 2009. The fifth series, Nina and the Neurons: In The Lab, was broadcast from 27 September 2010 to 10 December 2010. In the show, Nina and the experimenters discover changes and reaction.

Daniel, Kevin and Mansi ask Nina: How do binoculars make far away things look closer? Nina looks inside some binoculars in her workshop and then they all head off to see something exciting that uses the same science. They learn all about lenses and prisims and find out how to make an upside down telescope. Nina asks lovely Luke, the sight neuron, to help find out how pens work. She goes to see a very tall and spinney invention that uses the same technology and shows how to make your very own chunky marker.The show is produced by Lucille McLaughlin, who has also produced the children's programmes Balamory, Me Too! and Bits and Bobs. [2] The series is commissioned by CBeebies Controller, Michael Carrington [ citation needed] Synopsis [ edit ] Felix the touch neuron helps Nina find out how a flask works. Joined in her workshop by Sophie and Megan, Nina takes apart a thermos flask and looks inside. Afterwards they all don their hats and scarves and head off somewhere very cold that uses the same science as a flask. Friends Ciara, Morgan and Rachel ask Nina how a mirror works. With the help of lovely Luke, Nina shows what mirrors are made of and how they reflect. Then Nina and the girls set off to see a beautiful invention that uses mirrors at night A sixth series, called Nina and the Neurons: Brilliant Bodies, premiered on 5 September 2011. The show focuses on the parts of the human body. The seventh series, Nina and the Neurons: Go Engineering, is another series about inventions. It started in 2012. Series 8 is called Nina and the Neurons: Earth Explorers, explores the Earth, the sea and beyond. The series also started in 2013. The last three series, Get Sporty (2014), Go Digital (2014) and Get Building (2015) focus on sport, gadgets and building respectively.

Belle, voiced by Kelly Harrison, represents hearing and sound. She has a pink face & a red body but also loud and can be bossy. She speaks in a Yorkshire accent and is the group's vice leader. Ollie is the smell neuron. She is very sweet, self assured and a bit of a goth. Though her little brother, Bud, can bug her at times, she loves him dearly. Bud, voiced by Sharon Small, represents taste and eating. He speaks with a Scottish accent, just like Ollie. He is blue and also the youngest Neuron and can be enthusiastic and easily excited. He is the younger brother of Ollie.All 5 Neurons got chosen together by Nina due to the way touch, feel, hearing, sound, sight, looking, smell, scent, taste and eating all work together.

Bud and Ollie are often chosen together by Nina due to the way taste, eating, smell and scent all work together. *Note* they were only chosen together in the first episode of the “In The Lab” series. Felix and Luke got chosen together by Nina due to the way touch, feel, sight and looking all work together.Nina and the Neurons is a British television programme shown on the CBeebies channel, aimed at young children to help them understand basic science. Nina is a neuroscientist [1] who enlists the help of five Neurons (animated characters representing the senses) in her brain to answer a scientific question.

The Neurons are five computer-animated human characters (stylised with human facial features and body, but no legs) who live together inside Nina's brain and are named to reflect the five senses which they represent: There is a themed Nina & the Neurons activity trail at the Glasgow Science Centre. [ citation needed]. There was also an attraction located at Alton Towers themed to the show called Nina's Science Lab which opened in 2014 and closed in 2018.Ollie, voiced by Siobhan Redmond, represents smell and scent. She speaks with a Scottish accent, just like Bud. She is purple and described as 'sweet, self-assured and a bit of a goth.' [3] She is the elder sister of Bud. Bud is the taste neuron. He is the baby of the bunch, and talks in a slightly childlike manner. Bud oozes enthusiasm and is easily excited by whatever is going on. Ollie later helps Luke in Series 2 by Nina Finding Flowers and Digging Dogs due to the way smell and scent and sight and looking all work together. Felix, voiced by James Dreyfus in Series 1 and later by Lewis MacLeod , represents touch and feel. He is green and also the oldest Neuron, speaks in a posh accent and is particular about his appearance. Felix and Belle got chosen together by Nina due to the way touch, feel, hearing and sound all work together.
