Granny_Weatherwax Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I am looking for a brain to use as a demonstration tool for Psych/Neuropsych. The models I find on Google searches are either lame (too small) or expensive ($100+0. Does anyone know of a supplier with decent brains?

Matryoshka Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 LOL - for a minute I thought you meant this metaphorically. A few years ago we did a brain dissection with the kids - my friend got it from a local slaughterhouse (I think it was a pig brain), and I don't think it cost much at all. We also got an eyeball and a heart/lung combo. Did you know if you reinflate a pig lung it will grunt like it's alive? Apparently the noise is created somewhere in the trachea... Eeek!:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeTea Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Could you get an animal brain from a meat processor? You're talking about a real brain to hold in your hands or dissect, right? Also, Ellen McHenry's site has a pdf you can print of a "brain hat". www.ellenmchenry.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ailaena Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Did you know if you reinflate a pig lung it will grunt like it's alive? Apparently the noise is created somewhere in the trachea... Eeek!:eek: yes, but did you know that if you don't move your mouth away fast enough when it deflates you are scarred for life??:lol: Well, at least I can laugh about it now!

MamaT Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 hometrainingtools.com has a sheep's brain for $11.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 I was thinking about a plastic or foam model that I could use as a demo during class and then as a prop for the exam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Check out Nasco. I saw some brain models that I was debating getting for our science table. Like This one or this one Edited February 11, 2010 by swellmomma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I am looking for a brain to use as a demonstration tool for Psych/Neuropsych. The models I find on Google searches are either lame (too small) or expensive ($100+0. Does anyone know of a supplier with decent brains? and now I see you aren't talking about 'designer children'.........so what you are looking for probably isn't here in my Prada .:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanestMomInMidwest Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I know several people who don't appear to be using their brains....perhaps one of them would donate. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asta Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Oh - this is an easy one. Call your GP, ask him/her to ask a buddy neurologist of theirs to loan you one of the models that the drug company gave them for free. They are great models and pull into 4 sections. a (who spends lots of time playing with brain models while bored at neurologist's offices) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
