2 Once the brain has been perfusion-fixed and postfixed for 6–12 h, it is dissected into blocks as describe in Steps 3–10. Tissue blocks for the human brain bank are cut and labele… See more

3 The sensory and motor (SM) cortex of the pre- and post-central gyri are identified (Fig. 3d). Make deep incisions into the pre-central sulcus and into the post-central sulcus and … See more

5 Identify the extent of the superior temporal gyrus (STG). Make a block dissection of the superior temporal gyrus from the other temporal gyri (MTG, ITG) (Fig. 3f). D… See more

6 Identify the visual cortex (Fig. 3g). Cut the occipital pole off. Cut two additional blocks to a line defined by the pre-occipital notch and parieto-occipital sulcus. See more
