Abstract:
Introduction
Unstained formalin-fixed whole brain specimens and brain slices do not give satisfactory results forteaching neuroanatomy. In addition, difficulties in obtaining human brains for dissection have increased thedemand for more durable brain specimens that have been obtained by the plastination technique. In the presentstudy brain specimens were sliced, fixed and stained using the Mulligan method.Materials And Methods
Plastination was performed after two dehydration Methods
standard and stepwise. Wemeasured and compared color fading and shrinkage of the specimens between both methods.Result
There was no color change after dehydration in both methods.Conclusion
According to the results, stained plastinates that have been dehydrated by the stepwise method are suitable for teaching neuroanatomy.Keywords:
