This is an adult human brain that is entirely smooth, free of the ridges and folds usually seen in our brains. The owner of this brain was a resident of North Texas State Hospital, and died there in 1970. The patient’s records are lost, however the label on the jar that contained this brain states that the patient had agyria – a lack of gyri and sulci, which are the ridges and folds formed by the normally wrinkled cerebral cortex.
