Something cool I've been working on as a side project. I figured I would post it here since its a 3d print of my actual brain and I have discussed how I had a TBI.

Based of 2d fMRI slices from a recent check up, reconstructed into a 3d model then edited to be suitable for printing. I couldn't render the top section of the brain so it appears flat. I designed the brain being 3d printed based on Autodesk's open-source Ember SLA printer to hide this imperfection. Physically printed on a Form1+.

Also here is an interesting patent: US6630507 B1

Titled "Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants"

Owned by the US Gov. specifically The Department Of Health And Human Services
