Neurohero: A Journey to Regeneration
Meet Nexus, a fibroblast, living in Armlandia, a region of the Peripheral Nervous System. Play Neurohero to help Nexus guide axon regeneration after a 3rd degree neurotmesis injury!
Neurohero aims to empower players and bridge the gap caused by Neurophobia. It does this through engagement with a novel combination of illustrated comics and a serious game. The game attempts to dismantle Neurophobia via scaffolded content on both the cellular physiology and clinical applications behind neural regeneration after an injury. Neurohero depicts a 3rd degree neurotmesis, but acts as proof of concept for application toward a wide variety of neural injuries.
