Cerebri Anatome, pages 43 and 51 (2nd ed, 1664).8 A, Base of the brain. B, Open brain.

- Fig 7.
A, Fabrica, Book VII, Plate 24. The brain stem and nerves are inaccurately drawn due either to lack of fixation or unsatisfactory removal from the cranium. B, Cerebri Anatome, page 25. The brain stem with nerves and vessels, including the circle of Willis, is shown by Wren almost as in an architectural drawing. Fabrica courtesy of D.
