Self Portrait: Zombie Food (My Brain) Painting

This is my brain, based on an MRI from a couple of years ago. My corpus callosum is in gold. The primary function of the corpus callosum is to connect the two hemispheres of the brain. Different sections of the corpus callosum connect different functional areas. Women's corpus callosums are differently shaped than men's and have higher densities of connective tissues. Our right and left brains are more well connected. Our eyes also have different ratios of rods to cones. Men and women literally see the world differently. Additionally, our hearing tends to differ by the equivalent of approximately 3 volume notches on a car stereo. At the Mutter Museum recently, I saw Einstein's brain. It was unusually small for a man, closer in size to the brain of an average woman. It was also more well connected. More details at .html
