Illustration by Sir Charles Bell, in his The anatomy of the brain, explained in a series of engravings. London: Printed by C. Whittingham for T. N. Longman and O. Rees, 1802. Bell explained the plate: "From this Plate much of the general Anatomy and subdivisions of the Brain may be learnt. It represents the scull-cap taken off. On the left side, the Dura Mater investing the Brain; while the right hemisphere of the Cerebrum is seen covered only by the Vascular Pia Mater. The hemispheres, which are naturally divided by the Falx, are here separated a little, so as to enable us to look down upon the Corpus Callosum, and see the branches of the Anterior Artery of the Cerebrum, and the Artery of the Corpus Callosum." |
