Intro to the brain

David:

I think this "quick and helpful interactive introduction" is simplified to the point of misrepresentation.

For example, to talk about the cells that constitute the brain, and leave out any mention of glial cells which are many times more numerous than neurons is not much of a histoanatomy lesson.

And, you really can't talk too much about brain function by just looking at surface anatomy. I've seen kids books that do a better job.

David, how did you find this presentation helpful?

Earlier today I spoke with Michael Rhode, an archivist at the National Museum of Health & Medicine. He provided me with more information about their collection:

It works for me.

The unicorn is a Christ symbol, at least according to this medieval bestiary.
