An anatomical model of a human brain; the model breaks into the two hemispheres which in turn break into four different parts; the frontal and parietal lobes (b, c) are the largest, and have a space which is filled by the temporal and occipital lobes (d, e); the cerebellum (f, g) tucks in behind the brain stem (h, i), the model connects to the base (a) via the brain stem.

This model can be used to teach about the anatomy of the human brain. It breaks apart in order to give a better understanding of the shape and size of the different parts of the brain. The name on the front suggests that this may have been produced to aid promotion of Ticlid, a form of Ticlopidine, which was used to prevent strokes in patients who cannot take aspirin.
