brain model

Anatomical teaching prop

A brain model is a physical or conceptual representation of the brain used for study or illustration.

Physical brain models—plastic, rubber, or digital—help medical students learn anatomy.

In neuroscience and AI, brain models are theoretical frameworks or computer simulations that attempt to replicate how the brain processes information: Researchers developed a brain model to predict neural responses to visual stimuli.
