Figure 7-1: rat brain is about 2 grams in size for a 400 gram rat, human brain is about 1400 grams in size. What early researchers were interested in doing was finding out what various regions of the brain does: e. g. what happens when i damage a part of the brain cortex. E. g. if hippocampus was damaged in a rat. Mid-sagittal view (lateral view from a bisection of the brain: similar structures are visible pons. 5 special features of the human cns differences.
