What is the rarest and most interesting fact about the human brain?Well, what are the red nuclei's purpose?Hayden Houck, studied at Forensic ScienceWritten Aug 21, 2016I went to a cadaver lab about 6 months ago, and I learned my new favorite fact ever. It just so happens that it was about brains.Before you're born, the brain develops before the skull. That leaves your skull to form around your brain. There's not a whole lot of room between your brain and skull when they form, so the skull develops grooves where your veins are on your brain. This means that, in a way, your brain leaves its own fingerprint in your skull. Here's a picture I took of a skull at the cadaver lab (it was sitting in a box in a room next to the lab, this was not part of one of the dead bodies):If you zoom in on the sides, you can see a few vein imprints. Not to be confused with the sutures.(Another fun fact: my nail polish was the exact same color as the muscles of the cadavers. I haven't used that color since.)Long story short, we all have our own skull fingerprint, however I would not recommend using that as a method of identification.
