Excellent set of prints here Shawn.
It is interesting to note [if my interpretation of the SM shots is correct] that the join between the L and R halves stretches from the bottom of the eyes down to the jawbone ie., about 3 cm.
Isn't it amazing to realise that every sensation, thought, feeling, memory etc., that you have have ever had are stored therein!
Best regards, and thanks Bill.

the main join is the corpus callosum, the white fiber bundle that you see in the upper middle of the hemispheres. I'll have to post a mid-sagital view of the brain here so that you can see the structure of the corpus callosum. It's probably not quite as high as you would've expected, but it's long, going from the front of your brain to the back, more or less.

Indeed, it is. The SM atlas of my brain has been posted for some time now, as has the primate MRI brain. The new atlases are the immunocytochemical ones (calbindin, calretinin, parvalbumin, SMI-32 neurofilament protein) of the primate thalamus. I scripted the interface for those atlases just recently. The interface allows you to zoom into and navigate within sections, compare 2 different sections, and features dynamically-updated drop-down menus. I'm very happy with it, but unfortunately, I could only upload relatively low resolution images to the server because otherwise, the images would take up too much server space. Hence, the images that you see in the new atlases are relatively low resolution, whereas the ones I have access to on my laptop are of orders of magnitude better resolution. In fact, since I run a server on my laptop, you should be able to access it from your browser and be able to see the much higher resolution images there. But, because my IP address is dynamic (i.e., it changes), it could pose a problem in terms of someone else actually trying to access and view the higher res images.

Shawn, you ahve a very nice brain! I think it is so interesting to look at teh brain, rather the brain looking at itself! I mean, we are constantly trying to figure out how the brain works, and what fasinates me is that it is the brain trying to fihure itself out...way cool!
I also have prints of my brain, so there is PROOF if anyone ever asks if I have a brain

Take care,
Dara
