3B ScientificC17 Deluxe Brain 8-part - 3B Smart Anatomy

The model itself it great, but for the cost it lacks a printed guide. Why does the model have numbers on it if there is no literature in the box that identifies each area. The app also is a hassle to download. It's been impossible to download after many tries.

Great brain model. However, the plastic holder is terrible. It makes traveling with it annoying because it feels like it could brake in a sec. For this price 3B has no excuse really.

Very neat but WAY overpriced!

I'm pre-nursing student in anatomy and physiology who has realized as of late that not having the physical model is really quite the detriment when you have to do a lab practical. Buying this was probably one of the better decisions I've made for school, and even my instructor is impressed by the brain. She actually uses 3B for her own models, so I'm glad that I chose to get this. Luckily for me she'll be using her 3B models during the practical, so I've got a leg up! Love the model, is ANATOMICALLY correct!

This is a good basic brain model and a fair price. These models are great for learning anatomy on, especially when covering such areas as the temporal corices and the folia of the cerebellum, areas that perplex grad and med students alike.In my experience these models are fairly sturdy. I don't know how many times I've dropped a cerebellar hemisphere, on asphalt, linoleum, etc., and it has no scratches. This makes it great for a classroom environment where kids (primary school thru med school "kids" or students) are not always gentle with models. - - - - -Also, I'll add that if you are buying this as a gift for someone starting med school, studying in med school, or studying for med school, you might want to look at models with the skull and brain. Different med schools teach neuro differently, some with and some without the skull foramina requisite, but either way you're probably better off getting a comprehensive model - they'll appreciate having the skull model at some point in med school, even if not for strictly neuro purposes. (Although it's of course highly relevant for brain injuries!)

Unbelievably useful in Anatomy and Physiology class. I just couldn't get enough opportunity in Anatomy lab to study the brain; neuro was the last chapter before finals and suddenly the lab was flooded by other students. I bought this as a supplement to lab and studied it religiously at home. I gotman an "A" on the final and in my opinion, it was absolutely worth it!
