The elusive brainstem is a small, yet critical part of our brain: the slightest damage to it could prove fatal. But how it works is not fully understood today. Indian Scientists at SGBC (Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre) work to change that by producing the most detailed map of it ever seen.
Instead of more costly methods, this map was created with a high-resolution microscope. Starting with three samples, (45W fetus, 9Y and 54Y) the brain stems were imaged using MRI and BFI (Block Face Imaging), then sliced into 20/40µm pieces, imaged, annotated using in-house software and added to the dataset. From a combination of these images, MRI and BFI scans, they created a 3D model of the brainstem that you can explore in your browser.
The new research gives vital data needed for neurological research, and could help advance research on a wide range neurological diseases from Parkinson’s to Alzheimer’s.

I personally go for phased plasma rifle in the 40 Watt range
45 week fetus!!!
That would be over a month overdue.
The mother would burst!
Try 25 week.
Stillborns (at 25 weeks that’s what it would be called) are an unfortunate but very natural part of life. That the corpse of a nine year old was available is very sad. But at least they were able to learn something that might help people from whatever situation resulted in that.
just to expand on this…don’t “try” 25 week…25 week is what is stated in the paper
Definitions.
Problem solved with legal 87th trimester (or 4 trimesters after the last time the ask ‘rents for money) abortion.
At that age they are just helpless, useless lumps of cells.
Humans are a clear example of programmed obsolescence and biological DRM, and medicine uses tools to hack it.
