Human Brains & Endocasts

The brain is a soft tissue organ that is the center of the nervous system. It coordinates the senses, controls organs of the body, signals muscle control and is home to intellectual activity. An endocast is an artificial cast of the internal cranial vault and can be made intentionally or found in the fossil record. Below one will find replicas of brains and endocasts of humans, including associated lesson plans for sagittal, coronal, and transverse brain sections.
