This
web site provides browsers with images and information from one
of the world's largest collection of well-preserved, sectioned and
stained brains of mammals. Viewers can see and download photographs
of brains of over 100 different species of mammals (including humans)
representing over 20 Mammalian Orders.
Also available are examples of stained sections from a wide variety
of brains of special interest, including Humans, Chimpanzees, Monkeys,
various Rodents and Carnivores, California Sealion, Florida Manatee,
Big Brown Bat, American Badger, American Raccoon, Yellow Mongoose,
Zebra, Cow, and the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin. A complete list
of all available specimens is available. How brain evolution has
occurred is discussed.
Viewers will learn why these collections are important, why and
how they were assembled, and why it is important to protect, preserve
and maintain them. Moreover, a variety of issues in brain science
are discussed.
For users who are interested in using any of our images for educational
or research purposes, you have our permission to use them. But,
