The brain was removed from cadavers using a modified technique involving additionally the removal of most of the squamous occipital bone and laminae of the upper cervical vertebrae. The resulting specimens were superior to the usual ones in that the medulla oblongata, the upper spinal cord, and all the cranial nerves and cerebral arteries were intact. Fears of slow-virus contamination and legislative changes are precluding the use of brains obtained in the necropsy room for neuroanatomy teaching, so it is paramount that complete brains are removed from dissecting room cadavers. The method described herein takes a little longer than the traditional method, but is within the capability of an anatomy technician and yields better specimens for use in teaching and examinations.
采用一种改良技术从尸体上取出大脑，该技术还包括额外去除大部分枕骨鳞部和上颈椎椎板。所得标本比通常的标本更具优势，因为延髓、脊髓上部以及所有脑神经和脑动脉均保持完整。由于担心慢病毒污染和立法变更，解剖室尸体的大脑不再用于神经解剖学教学，因此从解剖室尸体上取出完整大脑至关重要。本文所述方法比传统方法耗时稍长，但解剖技术员能够完成，并且能提供更好的标本用于教学和考试。
