Innovative Film Maps Human Brain in 3D Computer Models
UCSD researchers Dr. Robert B. Livingston and Kent R. Wilson developed cinemorphology to convert brain slices into three dimensional computer models. The process embeds the brain in plastic, slices it into 25 micron sections, photographs each slice, and compiles them into colored 3D brain parts for precise study and comparative research. Livingston envisions using a pedigreed brain for benchmarking, advancing quantitative neurology.
