No, not really. It is the brain of a bottlenose dolphin; scientific name: Tursiops Truncatus . We have begun work towards an unprecedented anatomical atlas for the brain of this species created from multiple imaging modalities.
A very close look at the lives and brains of a few very dedicated research participants at UCSD may reveal a more complete picture of Essential Tremor (ET).
The Digital Brain Library Project at the UCSD is an unprecedented effort to compare what has been learned about human behavior and disease with the actual organ, the brain.
The Brain Observatory at UC San Diego has launched an extraordinary endeavor. Dr. Jacopo Annese and his team of researchers are establishing a digital brain bank to explore the relationship between mind and brain.
Postmortem MR imaging has revealed widespread deep White Matter pathology localized primarily in the frontal lobes. Histopathological staining will elucidate the nature of the abnormal WM signal revealed by MRI sequences; however, for the time being (in Phase 1), our main concern is histotechnical.
