Neuroanatomy: End

I finished up the last component of my neuroanatomy course today.

This was one of the more intense courses I've taken during my Ph.D, simply because we had two weeks to learn almost every aspect of neuroanatomy as was humanly possible. For some reason courses like this one seem to bring out my philosophical side; maybe it's because in this case it was such a graphic depiction of this blob in our heads that we so often take for granted.

It's amazing to see the brain in all of its glory. Slicing structures left, right, top, bottom, and sideways really gives you an idea of how complicated this hunk of wet machinery really is.
