Brain Models

These represent different levels of dissection detail: BS 20 separates into 8 parts (lobes, medulla, cerebellum) for basic regional study; BS 22 is a median-section model showing internal midline anatomy; BS 25 is the most detailed at 15 parts, developed after Prof. Rohen's work at the University of Erlangen for advanced neuroanatomy instruction. Match the part count to your course level rather than assuming "more expensive" automatically means "better fit."

It's a combination piece — a transparent skull with cervical vertebral column and an 8-part brain with cytoarchitectural areas indicated, designed to teach the brain-in-skull spatial relationship rather than brain anatomy in isolation. If your course needs cranial-nerve-exit-point or skull-brain relationship teaching, this is a better fit than a standalone brain; if you only need brain anatomy, a standalone model is more cost-effective.

The "T" designation indicates the transparent skull version, letting the brain be viewed through the cranium without removing it — useful for demonstrating in-situ position without disassembly. The non-transparent QS 7/20 requires opening the skull to view the brain. Confirm which teaching approach (visualization vs. hands-on disassembly) your program needs before ordering.

BS 24 is sold as a standalone model isolating just the ventricular system — useful if you're teaching CSF circulation specifically and don't need a full dissectible brain alongside it.

Often yes, since these separate into named anatomical sections rather than shipping as a single cast — but confirm with us using the exact model number, since replaceability varies by how the manufacturer catalogs individual parts.

Higher-part-count models generally involve more hand-finishing and can carry longer production timelines than simpler whole-brain casts. If you're working against a semester start or funding deadline, ask us to confirm current lead time on the specific model rather than assuming it matches a simpler item in the same collection.

Yes — we regularly build combined quotes spanning brain, skull, nervous system, and sensory-organ collections so a full neuroanatomy lab setup ships together under one purchase order.

Yes — we support repair and assessment solutions for SOMSO anatomical models generally, including brain models purchased elsewhere. If a lobe, brainstem section, or mounting has been damaged, contact us before assuming full replacement is necessary.

Model numbers are typically stamped on the base or mounting stand (BS- or QS-prefixed for human anatomy). If the label is missing or worn, send us photos showing the part count, whether it's sectioned or whole, and any visible labeling, and we can help narrow it to the matching model.
