Natural size, in SOMSO-Plast. After Prof. Dr. J. W. Rohen, Departement of Anatomy of the University of Erlangen. This model is based on a life-size cast of the ventricles of the brain. The large subcortical nuclei of the brain stem (e.g. the nucleus caudatus, nucleus lentiformis, thalamus etc.), and the internal capsule are grouped around the ventricles of the brain in such a way that the complete brainstem can be seen.

The limbic system (fornix, hippocampal formation) and adjacent parts of the temporal and occipital lobes are then attached to the brain stem, and the model is completed by the addition of the corpus callosum and cerebral cortex. The whole structure is supported by a cast of the base of the skull which also allows the natural position of the brain within the head to be studied. The model separates into 15 parts as follows: cerebral hemisphere (2), temporal and occipital lobes with limbic system, cerebellum, frontal lobe, corpus callosum, brainstem (2), corpus striatum, insula (2), nucleus lentiformis (left), internal capsule (right), ventricles of the brain, base of the skull as base.
