Students manipulate the inner workings of the human brain as they build this model, gaining a deeper understanding of how organs and systems interacts. Detailed plastic model includes a display stand and guide with facts and step by step, photo-illustrated assembly instructions.
The brain anatomy model is a set of 31 pieces that connect to form a human brain. The brain’s major parts are displayed: cerebellum, frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes, corpus callosum, brain stem, hippocampus, ventricles, insula, corpus striatum, internal capsule, and lentiform nucleus.
Definitions
Cerebellum coordinates body movement and maintains the body’s balance and equilibrium
Frontal Lobe controls many functions including movement, memory, language, social behaviour, problem solving, decision making, emotion, and personality
Parietal Lobe interprets sensory information of touch, pressure, temperature, and pain; involved with language comprehension temporal lobe controls auditory perception, speech, language comprehension, and visual recognition
Occipital Lobe processes visual information and controls visual perception, including colour recognition, sending the information to the parietal and temporal lobes
Corpus Callosum connects and communicates between the left and right sides of the brain
Brain Stem contains the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain; connects the spinal cord and controls some involuntary movements such as breathing and heart rate
Hippocampus the part of the limbic system that involves memory retention and spatial orientation
Ventricles hollow chamber that contains cerebrospinal fluid allowing it to move around the brain
Insula interprets experiences of pain, disgust, happiness, sadness, taste, and smell
Corpus Striatum connects the basal ganglia system with the rest of the brain to coordinate functions such as motor control, cognition, learning, and emotions
Internal capsule contains fibres that connect the primary sensory areas of the cortex with the rest of the nervous system
Lentiform Nucleus part of the basal ganglia composed of the globus pallidus and the putamen, which aids in learning reinforcement
