    Human Brain Model
    Does anyone have a human brain model they'd suggest?

    I've found loads online but they vary greatly in price and detail.

    I want realistic size and preferably weight, with at least a few parts.

    Any suggestions are appreciated

    I wouldn't bother. The brain models that are decent are a few hundred pound at least. If you have the money I would recommend this model for general structure.

    Depending on what you need it for, a virtual model may be a good option - they can be extremely intricate and detailed - and many are free. Although if you need a real-world physical model then I understand this wont be much help!
    The virtual ones ive seen are
    brainmaps.org
    and also anatomy.tv but you have to pay for the latter

    Hope this helps
