Transparent Brain Model
I. Disassembling of the Transparent Model
II. Assembling the Transparent Model
1. Draw off the RIGHT half of the sphenoid bone anteriorly.
(2 guide pins are in the removable part)
1. Fit the ventricles into the LEFT half of the diencephalon / brainstem.
2. Release the RIGHT transparent half of the cerebrum by
drawing it toward the right side.
2. Fit the RIGHT half of the diencephalon / brainstem around the RIGHT
ventricle from below and align the guide pins.
3.
3. Remove the RIGHT half of the cerebellum towards
the right side (no plug connection).
a. Press the striatum and lentiform nuclei (red) into the internal capsule.
b. Attach the insula cover over the putamen (red) via the two guide pins.
4. Slightly lift the brainstem (including ventricles and corpus callosum)
posteriorly and then draw it towards the RIGHT side.
5. Remove the corpus callosum (push button).

On the RIGHT
6. Release the fornix anteriorly and remove the limbic system posteriorly.
a. Attach the caudate (red) to the medial side of the internal capsule.
7.
On the RIGHT
b. Attach the lentiform nuclei (red) to the internal capsule.
a. Remove the insular cortex from the diencephalon.
c. Cover the lentiform nuclei with the insula cover via the two guide pins.
7.
b. Remove the lentiform (red) nucleus.
4. Fit the anterior fornix into the two holes in the hypothalamus.
c. Remove the caudate nucleus and internal capusule.
5. Attach the corpus callosum to the top of the diencephalon (push button).
On the LEFT
6. Fix the LEFT half of the cerebellum into the posterior cranial fossa
of the transparent skull base.
a. Remove the insular cortex from the diencephalons.
b. Laterally remove the striatum and lentiform nuclei (red).
7. Put the diencephalon, ventricles and brainstem into the LEFT half
of the transparent brain and skull base.
8. Separate the LEFT and RIGHT diencephalons to expose the ventricles.
8. Fit the LEFT optic nerve into the LEFT optic canal.
9. Carefully remove the ventricles from their position.
9. Fit the RIGHT cerebellum into the posterior cranial fossa of the
transparent skull base.
10. Insert the RIGHT half of the cerebral hemisphere (transparent)
under the dura mater.
11. Fit the RIGHT sphenoid bone into the appropriate holes from the front.
