Brain atlas

While the images at brainmaps.org of frozen, stained and sliced brains are just interesting shapes and textures to the non-neuroscientists among us, it's fun to compare the brains of various creatures, from Mus musculus, as seen in Dr Adam Hamlin's slides on the right, to Ornithorhynchus anatinus (aka the platypus).

Or perhaps you'd like to compare the human brain to that of a goldfish.
