shb#3  This is a preserved sheep brain in a nice specimen jar.  Great for science labs, classroom decor or a creepy science collection of your own!

The sheep brain is a classic mammalian specimen used extensively in anatomy labs because it shares a strikingly similar structural architecture with the human brain. However, key evolutionary differences exist in its proportions, size, and orientation. 
The brain acts as the central control unit of an animal's nervous system, gathering sensory input, processing information, and directing movement or bodily functions.
Primary Functions of an Animal brain
  • Sensory Processing (Input): Receives and interprets signals from the environment through specialized senses (such as vision, hearing, smell, and touch). For example, the olfactory bulb processes smells, while the visual cortex handles sight. [1, 2]
  • Cognitive Operations & Integration (Central Processing): Evaluates data, manages memory, coordinates learning, and resolves choices through interconnected neural networks. 
  • Motor Control & Movement (Output): Sends electrical and chemical signals down the spinal cord and peripheral nerves to coordinate muscle contractions, balance, and locomotion. The cerebellum modulates physical timing and coordination, while motor areas drive action. 
  • Homeostasis & Autonomic Regulation: Controls automatic, life-sustaining functions such as heart rate, breathing, blood pressure (via the brainstem/medulla), and internal body temperature or hunger (via the hypothalamus). 
  • Hormonal & Emotional Control: Manages endocrine responses through structures like the pituitary gland (the master gland) and processes instinct, fear, and social behaviors via the limbic system. 

To preserve your specimen you can fill your jar with 70% isopropyl alcohol which can be purchased at any grocery or drug store.  
 
The brain is approximately 4 1/2 x 2 3/4" and would look great in a curiosity cabinet or man cave!
