Re: Brain bank



There is a collection of brains of the celebrities (politicians 
(Lenin, Stalin, Sakharov etc.), poets, musicians, mathematicians, 
painters etc.) at The Institute of Brain in Moscow which was 
established  in 1924 to study Lenin's brain. There were indeed 
interesting publications (for example, the late prof. S. Blinkov 
studied microanatomy of temporal lobe in musicians and composers) 
that might be worth  translating into English. Who is going to 
publish it? I might be interested to join such project.

Best wishes,
