Title: Brain defects go a long way Written by: duddy on Sep 26, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_26_09_13_6_33_38.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=14075) This is a human brain without grooves and folds, a condition known as lissencephaly. It belonged to a patient who died in a mental health facility in 1970, and almost a year ago a photographer found the jar containing the brain in a collection at the University of Texas, Austin. People with this rare condition suffer from seizures, muscle spasms, a range of learning difficulties, and usually die before the age of ten. |
