Excellent link, hama7 - can't do it justice today, but it looks like a keeper! Bookmarked for later exploration - thanks!

Good link hama7. Must be Sunday morning educational internet time. I liked the Rotating human brain and the elephant brain.

Hey, what's with the blurred part on the inside of that rotating brain? Obscuring the medula to protect the innocent?

I believe the blurred out section is the stand they used to suspend the "brains", crunchland. Don't want to ruin the illusion that brains are just floating in space!

Oh dear--the cross section of the rotating human brain looks disturbingly like Spam.

So that's what an owl monkey's brain looks like!

But hama7, why should comparative anatomy end at the brain?
