Internship Project Idea

My project will be a series of hand drawn and detailed images/diagrams of human and rat brains with descriptions of what roles each section of the brains are in charge of as well as one art piece centered around the theme of brains (this photo is an example of what they will appear like). It will be an opportunity to go into a deep analysis and comparison of brains and will allow me to become more knowledgeable in neurology and brain anatomy and will help further develop my art skills. I will be closely observing my colleagues while they collect and and cut brains as well as conduct my own research on brains and look through the multiple atlases of mouse brains that they store in the laboratory. But I will also be conducting minor projects in the next weeks including assays of mice and running PCR's to help genotype certain mice.
