The male cadaver was encased and frozen in a gelatin and water mixture in order to stabilize the specimen for cutting. The specimen was then "cut" in the axial plane at 1-millimeter intervals. Each of the resulting 1,871 "slices" was photographed in both film and digital, yielding 15 gigabytes of data. In 2000, the photos were rescanned at a ...

The brain of Albert Einstein has been a subject of much research and speculation.Albert Einstein's brain was removed within seven and a half hours of his death.His apparent regularities or irregularities in the brain have been used to support various ideas about correlations in neuroanatomy with general or mathematical intelligence.
The Benton Visual Retention Test has proved to be a generalizable test with the ability to be accurately administered to participants aged 8-adult, [8] and no gender effect. [9] Some studies have suggested a significant gender and education interaction indicating that an age-associated decline in visual memory performance may be more prominent ...
Brain mapping is a set of neuroscience techniques predicated on the mapping of (biological) quantities or properties onto spatial representations of the ...
