Giant Functional Center Brain

The Giant Functional Center Brain displays the motor and sensory functional centres of the human brain in contrasting colours. Depicting the brain of a right-handed person, the intellectual functions of the prefrontal area are labelled identifying the left side as the dominant side concerned with speech, mathematics skills, and analytical thinking, while the right side is identified with creativity, spatial perception, art and music appreciation, and intuitive thinking. Although painting highlights functional centres on both brain hemispheres, for the sake of clarity, labelling on the centres is restricted to sensory regions on the right half and motor regions on the left. Sensory regions highlighted include the separate reception and interpretive centres of the visual, acoustic, touch, taste and olfactory senses, plus sensory centres of the somatosensory cortex receptive to more than 20 specific body regions. Among the motor centres presented are 19 body regions controlled by the motor cortex, the premotor area, and the motor speech area of Broca. More than 120 additional anatomical features, hand-numbered on the brain, are identified in the accompanying instructor's answer key. The key provides a method for testing the student's knowledge. The brain rests in an upright position on a hoop support mounted on an oval base of finished hardwood.
