  1. If I said "totally novel DESCRIPTIVE ANATOMY of the human body in 2026 CE," you would say "female bodies, probably lady parts," and of course you would be correct

  2. "Backwardness of human neuroanatomy", Crick & Jones 1993.
    nature.com/articles/361109a0

    "The spatial resolution of classical MRI is now 1 mm or less so that the living brain can be seen in much better detail than before. But 1 mm^3 of the human visual cortex may contain more than 40,000 neurons, so we are still looking at a low-resolution image."

    "The shameful answer is that we do not have such detailed maps because, for obvious reasons, most of the experimental methods used on the macaque brain cannot be used on humans."

    "It is intolerable that we do not have this information for the human brain. Without it there is little hope of understanding how our brains work except in the crudest way. The object of this paper is to make this need more widely known."

    Arguably the situation has improved but not significantly, given the (still) millimeter resolution of existing methods.

  3. @brainglobe @SWC_Neuro This is excellent news! We're currently piloting rat brain clearing & light-sheet imaging, so this atlas will be very welcome.

  4. La percepción del paso del tiempo describe la experiencia subjetiva del tiempo y como un individuo interpreta la duración de un evento.

    Puede variar con el estado emocional, el nivel de atención, la capacidad de memoria y con ciertas enfermedades.

    Las cortezas frontal, parietal, el cerebelo, el hipocampo y los núcleos de la base están involucrados. Existen “neuronas del tiempo”.

  5. It looks like no AI model knows where the visual cortex (occipital lobe) is located: just ask them to generate an image of a brain implant with wires only in visual cortex (Neuralink Blindsight) and you mostly get nonsense results. #AI does not know #neuroscience (#neuroanatomy)?

  6. It seems reasonable to assume that bigger brains can pack more neurons, so they must be smarter.

    But that’s not how evolution works. The brain of a larger animal isn’t just a scaled-up version of a smaller one, it can actually be structured differently. In this article, we explain what that means and why “bigger” doesn’t always mean “more computational power”.

    P.S.: Not everything made it into the final version, but I had so much fun reading in-depth about the brain structure of various animals. Just another reminder that nature rules.

  10. CW: Artificial text - it's up to you to check if it's true.

    Did you know that cephalopods, such as octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish, have a highly distributed brain? Instead of having a single brain located in one place like humans, they have a collection of smaller brain-like structures called "hubs" spread throughout their bodies! 🤖❄️ #cephalopodfacts #oceancreatures #neuroanatomy

  11. How to Build a Human Brain by Lynne Barker, 2024

    How to Build a Human Brain takes a developmental approach to understanding brain structure and function. It guides readers through the evolution of the human brain, from its cellular building blocks, up to hind brain structures and functions, and through to neocortex and associated functions.

  12. Thomas Willis (1621-1675) : Neurologist, Chemist, Physician

    “Willis is not only credited to be the founder of neurology, but he is also seen as the father of comparative neuroanatomy, as his work, in particular Cerebri anatome and De anima brutorum, compare the human brain with that of other species in ‘search for specific human abilities in cognitive functions’ (Molnár, p. 334).”

  14. One of my favorite things in #neuroanatomy is the number of structures with names like "nucleus ambiguus" (ambiguous nucleus), "substantia innominata" (unnamed stuff), and "zona incerta" (uncertain zone).

    If I were making a neuroanatomical atlas in the 19th century, I definitely would have called something "locus draconum," as in the old navigational charts' "here be dragons".

  15. Interesting #preprint: New mouse brain atlas links high-resolution MRI and light-sheet imaging, finally placing Allen Brain Atlas coordinates in stereotaxic space.

    #tissueclearing was done via LifeCanvas and includes 17 common neuron type markers:

  19. CW: dissected bird brain

    From our archived collection of tissue samples, this is the brain of a wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax). This eagle was shot by someone in Australia and provided to us through a wildlife sanctuary (through all necessary permits) as it was too injured to survive. Glad to have it for our comparative anatomical studies, but is sucks that people have to behave like this.
