Description

Alzheimer's disease is the number 6 disease killer in the US. This model demonstrates brain atrophy...the folds of the brain (gyri) are abnormally shrunken leading to deep infolds (sulci).

This model can be printed with or without the ventricular system, which is the second STL file.  The ventricles are cut out in the brain model, so if you print in clear the ventricles will be filled with support material.
