Here’s how the website describes this gift to anyone interested in the brain: “The G2C Brain is an interactive 3-D model of the brain. It consists of 29 structures that can be rotated in three-dimensional space. Each structure contains key information on brain disorders, brain damage, case studies, and links to modern neuroscience research.”
Be sure to check out some of the spots I talk about here on ReWire Your Brain, like the amygdala, the brainstem, and the medial prefrontal cortex (to see that one, click on “Frontal Cortex” from the drop-down menu that says “Whole Brain.” Make sure you’ve hit “center” to see the brain straight on.
See those two little blue points? That’s the area that is so vital to linking five major parts of your brain — and the better integrated those parts are, the better your brain — and your relationships — will work.
Think it’s too small to make a difference? Remember that 5,000 neural synapses fit in the width of a human hair.
Now that’s dense!

Hi Dr. Lucas.
I went to that and played with the 3D brain model. It sure is cool to see. I certainly didn’t know that point that you brought up here about how 5000 neural synapses fit in the width of a human hair. I knew they were small but now I have a better sense of their size. It is interesting that we have about 10 billion neurons. Some numbers are tough to picture.
