Collection: Brain models and the nervous system

Our range of brain models is large and includes models with many different characteristics. A brain model is also called a plastic brain, and basically they show all the cerebrum (cerebrum), the cerebellum (cerebellum) and the brain stem (truncus encephali) with the cranial nerves (cranial nerves).



The brain models can be separated into different numbers of parts - from 2 to 15. Therefore, they differ in terms of which structures can be seen. The differences also consist in how the parts are held together (via nylon pins, metal pins or magnets). Furthermore, they also consist of different types of material (from flexible and almost soft material to extremely hard).



Some of the models also show colored structures. Some show colors in particular areas of the brain lobes (the cerebrum), while others show internal structures in color. Many of our customers ask about the limbic system in relation to purchase of brain models - especially hippocampus and amygdala. This is therefore mentioned in all product descriptions in the range. In the assortment there is also a model of the spinal cord, which some call a nervous system model or nerve model. It shows a spinal nerve (with roots), a cross-section of the spinal cord and the meninges (dura mater spinalis, arachnoid mater spinalis and pia mater spinalis), which are all part of the nervous system.



Clinically, the plastic brains can be used to understand many different lesions and disorders. From apoplexy to hydrocephalus, epilepsy and much more.
