Function and Applications

This popular brain model reproduces the brain of a right-handed person, employing contrasting colors and hand-lettered captions to locate and identify motor and sensory functional centers within the brain. In addition to focusing on the intellectual role of the dominant left brain, and the creative role of the right brain, the model highlights the emotional, sexual, memory and learning functions of the limbic system. Sensory regions and centers receptive to 20 specific body regions are distinguished within the brain, as are the motor centers controlling 19 body regions. The following lobes and regions of this 2-times life-size brain are represented in different colors and labeled in English:

• Frontal lobe
• Parietal lobe
• Occipital lobe
• Temporal lobe
• Motor cortex
• Somatosensory cortex
• Limbic cortex
• Cerebellum
• Brain stem

The twelve cranial nerves and additional features are numbered. More than 120 features of the brain, hand-numbered on the model, are identified in the corresponding key. The human brain model is delivered on a base.
