• Primarily whole-brain serial sections mounted on slides; also included are tissue blocks of fetal and neonatal organs. Each specimen has a case record. In addition to nomative controls, specimens include examples of cerebrovascular disease, pathomorphic cerebra, neurosurgery for behavioral diseases, miscellaneous neuropathology, and experimental animals. The collection was built by Dr. Paul Ivan Yakovlev (1894-1983), a neurologist at several hospitals and Harvard Medical School. Yakovlev began the collection in 1930 at Monson State Hospital. In 1974 he transferred the collection from Harvard to the AFIP, where it was managed by curator Mohamad Haleem until its transfer to the museum. In 1994 it was renamed the Yakovlev-Haleem Collection. Also associated with the collection is a reference library and computer imaging technology. Recent development has included computer image analysis of the collection.
