Comments

Basic Unlabeled / Unpainted Model

Excellent Head / Brain Model.  Very good for clinical settings.  Skin tone is "ethnically neutral"

Best Seller -- Model is a basic lecture grade model for introductory courses.

Model has numerous labeled areas for the price.  Very accurate shading on internal structures.

Best Seller - Model has numerous labeled areas for the price.  Very accurate shading on internal structures.

Truly Outstanding Model for the price.  This model is our favorite because it is most accurate in terms of organization and shading.  This model lacks surface arteries, however, they are not usually needed for anatomical purposes.

Excellent model to demonstrate vascular organization.  Very accurate shading on internal structures.

Excellent neuroanatomical model.  Very high contrast of model facilitates use in classroom.

Outstanding model for the structures shown below.  Color is in plastic, thus, won't easily scratch.  Can't beat the price for the skull and brain.

A great desktop model at a very reasonable price.  This model can be used for general brain anatomy if specific subcortical areas are not required.

Best Seller - Basic Brain with coloration.  Painting is not always precise.  However, great value for price range.

Outstanding Head / Brain Model.  Excellent detail and realism.  Skin tone is "ethnically neutral"
