This cross section model of a brain is made from durable soft foam. It is a detailed model which depicts all major parts of the brain and helps with learning about the key functions of each area.
Areas of the brain on the model are cerebrum, parietal lobe, frontal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, corpus callosum, thalamus, hypothalamus and the pituitary gland.
Ways to use:
An important part of understanding the impacts of trauma, especially on developing brains, is knowing how trauma affects the different parts of the brain and the consequent functions which are shaped by this.
Use this model to increase learning and understanding when exploring brain impacts. It can be used with parents, carers and social workers and other professionals.
