The Clay Brain

In this activity, our team assembled a brain out of different colors of play dough in order to illustrate the different parts of the brain. In our models, we tried to show not only the lobes, but the different glands, gyrus's, and sulcus's as well. For example, the lateral cerebral sulcus is located in between the frontal and temporal lobes, and the pineal gland (shown in pink in the first picture) is located in between the cerebellum, brainstem, thalamus, and cerebrum. The different parts of the brain are labeled on the cardboard next to their corresponding structure.
