Gestational Developmental Brains- Human 23-37 Weeks

thingiverse

This accurate scale set of models displays the size and approximate structure of a developing brain at 23, 30 and 37 weeks of gestational age precisely. Each model was averaged over multiple brains, so they lack the distinctive characteristics of single subject models. Nonetheless, this set is invaluable in visualizing not only the absolute size at each of the three time points, but also just how rapidly the brain grows inside the womb. To make it easier to recall the age of each brain, I've added the number of weeks on the underside of each model. You can print either set, but I personally prefer this numbered set much more.
