1 - Brain Video (CAUTION!)

The cerebellum - becomes visible, as the brain tips, after extraction.

Brain Video

There is a new video, available from the Videos page. The new video is not intended for all audiences. It shows the first moments of a brain autopsy: the opening of the skull, followed by the removal of our most vital organ.

After removal, with the brain resting on the table, its rear part - the cerebellum - becomes visible.

The superb documentary from where I edited this video sequence, proceeds with an interview with Castro Caldas - a brilliant portuguese Doctor - explaining a bit of the brain's anatomy. Very interesting.

To watch the video, just right click its link above, chose "save as" to somewhere on your PC, and then play it with Real Player (free). This is a high quality (600 kbps) file. Do not try to play it from the website, because you won't have enough bandwidth.

This video is also available from the videos page.

A bit shocking - I guess it takes some time for people to get used to these procedures.
