First MRI



From Heavier Things:

I have to admit that I am thoroughly in love with my brain. It's so pretty. Look at all the sexy structures! Can you name some of them that you see here? I can!

Corpus callosum
Pons
Brain stem
Cerebellum
Pituitary gland
Hypothalamus/Thalamus

Oh we loves it!


A behavioural neuroscience grad student talks about her first anatomical MRI in a post titled My Gorgeous Sexy Brain. It IS cool to look at your own brain, and her enthusiasm is contagious. (But not in a prion disease kind of way.)

We do loves it, thanks Joanna!

PS. Congrats on the three-year blog anniversary.

All my scans to date feature too much distortion outside the skull to be really cool. Plus, by the time you're stripped its skull by hand, you're pretty sick of the damn thing.
