In 1839, the Escola de Farmácia de Ouro Preto pioneered the teaching of pharmaceutical sciences in Brazil. At the end of the 19th century, the Escola de Farmácia possessed a French collection of anatomical models, some made of wax and . The models were a critical part of teaching anatomy, particularly in an era of paradigm changes about how the human brain works.
The present study aimed to anatomically describe the brain models through a comparative analysis with the current anatomical description.
Comparative analysis of the brain models with modern anatomical descriptions.
In the individual analysis of the wax models, we verified excellent anatomical accuracy of the cortical and subcortical regions. Our results identified internal structures, like the basal ganglia and white matter. Compared with modern anatomical books and websites, the wax brain models have high scientific quality.
The models of the present study gave students hands-on experience of human anatomy in the 19 century. Nowadays, the models are part of the memory of Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto and Museu da Pharmacia de Ouro Preto . The collection of wax models shows the appreciation of neuroanatomy teaching at the turn of the century concomitant with advances in neurology and anatomy around the world.
1839 年，奥罗普雷托药学院在巴西开创了药学科学教学的先河。19 世纪末，该学院拥有一批法国解剖模型收藏，其中一些是蜡制的。这些模型是解剖教学的重要组成部分，特别是在人类大脑工作方式发生范式转变的时代。
本研究旨在通过与当前解剖描述进行比较分析，对脑模型进行解剖描述。
对脑模型与现代解剖描述进行比较分析。
在对蜡模的个体分析中，我们验证了皮质和皮质下区域具有出色的解剖准确性。我们的结果确定了内部结构，如基底神经节和白质。与现代解剖书籍和网站相比，蜡质脑模型具有很高的科学质量。
本研究中的模型为 19 世纪的学生提供了人体解剖学的实践经验。如今，这些模型是奥罗普雷托联邦大学和奥罗普雷托药学院博物馆记忆的一部分。蜡质模型收藏展示了 20 世纪之交对神经解剖学教学的重视，与世界各地神经病学和解剖学的进步相一致。
