BAA BAA POOR SHEEP

Baa, Baa poor sheep have you got a brain?
no Sir, no Sir, they're dissecting it again...

This is a site for the study of the sheep's brain. It is brief, but worth taking a look at:

Another couple of sites that may be of interest:
http://www.csus.edu/org/nrg/carter/NeurosylActive/sheepbrain/sheepExt.htm

This one is great and the one I used in class to compare with the real sheep brain.

This is from the same college, but it is a tutorial of the human brain complete with an MRI image of the mid-saggital head.

I found this video rather gross...but it was informative. Perhaps it is the scooping of the brain with a spoon that was so disturbing. Actually, dissection itself is fascinating, but disturbing.

HAVE A HEART...

The following links will take you to several sites that show great views of the sheep's heart:

This one is a terrific tutorial (turn your speakers on) that walks you through the dissection and labeling of a sheep's heart. The first part is slow, but picks up after the professor explains some of the initial dissection aspects to the class.
