[ZZ] Photo of the Day

[Jun]

Have to share this.

what.. the heck is this?????? ;...

[Knowing]

切猪脑？

[tiffany]

这个图片尸检吧？正经标本的话应该泡福而马淋，不会有血的。且大家们看见脑子右侧有个洞了没？也不知道是啥造成的？

另，注意到操刀人雪雪白的衣服袖子了没？一般知道自己在干哈的人都不会做手术／解剖／切脑子弄出来一个血花四溅的惨烈现场。

Hehe, I have no idea what this is. Just saw the photo on a Web site (Jonah Lehrer's blog) and thought of Dr. Tiff.

[Knowing]

我昨天fillet 鸽子搞的特别血腥，回家给你们看照片。

[silkworm]

白博一眼看出一个洞。
我外行，最先注意的是此人左撇子，其次是下方放了把尺子，难道是质控切片厚度的？

[tiffany]

I think it is there for show or something. I believe if this one is any good, (s)he'd not need a ruler to tell how thick (s)he'd slice.

是个男的：

[tiffany]

autopsy? otherwise, I do not get the rulers.

[Jun]

I think the ruler may be intended to measure the size of certain brain parts: eg, the diameter of the cerebellum or pineal gland or the length of pons...



This is why I can never stomach medical school. I may not be totally freaked out but this is hardly appealing.

The strange story of Einstein's brain.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/stor ... =126229305

The genius, Einstein, died April 18, 1955, at Princeton Hospital in Princeton, N.J.

Things got especially crazy for Thomas Harvey, who performed the autopsy on Einstein. During the procedure, he removed the brain to examine it, which is routine.

But instead of placing the brain back in the skull, Harvey put it in a jar of formaldehyde, Paterniti says.

"And out of that complete, sort of melee of the moment, he made off with the brain, and it was under somewhat dubious circumstances," Paterniti says.

Harvey told Paterniti how he had tried to fulfill his duty to science by periodically sending bits of Einstein's brain to various neuroscientists.

"So, he didn't have the entire brain and much of it was sliced up," Paterniti says.

Diamond doesn't talk about her part of this story anymore. But during a 1985 lecture in New York, she described what happened after she asked Harvey for the samples: Harvey agreed to send them, she said, but months went by and nothing happened. Then, three years later, the chunks of brain tissue arrived by mail in a mayonnaise jar.

How do we even know these chunks were Einstein's brain? They could be anyone's.

内行小白看门道，外行如我看。。。不！我才不要看这种可怕的热闹！

[joe_cool]

我记得我在电视上看的做autopsy的医生都是做手术的打扮来着.这个切脑子的人帽子也不戴，手腕处也没有松紧带扎紧...你别说，这雪白的大褂在照片里真好看。

[Jun]

你别说，这雪白的大褂在照片里真好看。

看这照片我忽然想写一篇惊险或侦探小说，主角是病理学家 --- 不是 ME，那个就太泛滥了，而是在试验室里切脑片的 nerd。

收集技术资料时要请教白博。

[vivi]

我也一下看到了那个洞！某人说可能是stroke。
