★★God is in the Neurons ★★ Michelangelo is recognized as one of the greatest painters from the Italian Renaissance. What is not so widely known is that he was an avid student of anatomy who, at the age of 17, began dissecting corpses from the church graveyard. Now, a pair of American experts in neuroanatomy believe that Michelangelo did leave some anatomical illustrations behind in one of his most famous works - the Sistine Chapel. While some might dismiss this as a coincidence, experts suggest that it would be harder to explain that this was not Michelangelo's intention. Even complex components within the brain, such as the cerebellum, optic chiasm, and pituitary gland can all be found in the picture. As for that sassy green sash running down the pons/spinal column/dude who is holding God up, it follows the path of the vertebral artery perfectly. @medicalcortex #medstudent #medical #brain #art #nurse #f4f #anatomy #neurosurgeon #neurology #god #neuroscience #l4l #premed #usmle #neuroanatomy
