Brain Art
Just a quick bit here, but I noticed that Scientific American ran an article on a recent Brain-Art competition.
The link is here.
I think my favorite is this one called Rebrain by Robert Toro. It is both visually striking and also works to solve a problem. Apparently he has maximized the amount of visible cortex tissue without distorting it, thus allowing students and the like to recognize regions while still seeing this tissue.
I can’t say as I’ve spent enough time studying brains to fully appreciate the new view, but I am a fan of finding new ways to present material for added clarity. So kudos to Robert Toro for doing just that.
I also appreciate Micheal Madore’s collaboration with Isabel Dziobek on the amygdala in autism.
