So, you see similarities between these brains? You must have a good eye... At first glance one might say that these brains look completely different. Yet, you have probably noticed a couple of similarities:

• each brain appears to have 2 hemispheres
• there seems to be distinct structures in these brains
• each brain has a spinal cord descending from it Shall we try another question?

  Do you notice any differences between these brains?

  Yes, I see a bunch of differences...

  Nope, not even one!
