Selections from the Neuroanatomical Collections of the
National Museum of Health and Medicine

The Neuroanatomical Collections is a repository of research and educational materials in neuroscience established in 1993 with the transfer of the Yakovlev-Haleem Collection to the National Museum of Health and Medicine. The division has since acquired eight more collections and continues to expand. Information about the Neuroanatomical Collections is available here.

The Museum partners in the management of www.brainmuseum.org, the online home of the Comparative Mammalian Brain Collection. This collaboration includes the University of Wisconsin, Michigan State University, and the National Museum of Health and Medicine. Today, all collections are curated at the NMHM. Brainmuseum.org offers images and information from one of the world's largest collections of well-preserved, sectioned and stained brains of mammals. Viewers can see and download photographs of brains of over 100 different species of mammals (including humans) representing over 20 Mammalian Orders.

BrainMuseum.org was funded by the National Science Foundation, as well as by the National Institutes of Health.
