All About the Brain

“Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still it is never complete.” ― Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

The human brain is fascinating, and learning about this organ that is so central to our identity as persons can be fascinating. Students in anatomy and physiology class recently dissected sheep brains. They were able to compare the sheep brain to the human brain, as they have identical structures. Students were able to identify structures such as the cerebellum, medulla oblongata, super and inferior colliculi, hypothalamus, optic chiasma, and many more.
