Description:
This object is an incomplete anatomical model of the human nervous system, or more specifically, the human brainstem; the model is clastic, which is to say its components are separable. Pictured is the left half of the brainstem, including the thalmus and upper spinal cord. The model is unsigned, although it exhibits a marked similarity to other models in the collection by Louis Thomas Auzoux. Presumably, the stand or another missing piece of the model bears the maker's signature.
