Originally from the University of Chicago, this collection came to the Anatomy Center via the University of Alabama. This collection of human and  comparative material is stained to highlight nervous system development. Sizes of specimens range from 50mm to 250mm. For those wishing to study the development of the human nervous system from birth through maturity to old age, this collection is a bridge between the Carnegie Collection focusing on the first eight weeks of development and the neo-natal to adult material in The Yakovlev-Haleem Neuro Pathology Collection.
