File this under awful coincidence:
A student in my cognition class lost a parent in last week's plane crash
outside of Buffalo. This week's readings on Attention (Ch. 4 in Sternberg's
Cognitive Psychology) included this passage:

Aw, man, that's hard. After September 11 (I was living in Brooklyn and
working on Long Island) I had to tread very carefully around a number of
issues -- seemed like every third student either knew a firefighter or
worker who was lost.
That's hard...

Those Cognition books! I was using Reed - and they discussed about a pilot
flying into a building in the attention chapter. We were in that section
during 9/11.

have in textbooks and the number of students and tragedies they all bring to
our classes

For a talk I'm doing in a few weeks for our undergraduates I want an image of
the brain built with Lego. Has anyone seen such a thing? I've had no luck yet
with google images.
Take care

Lego seems a rather unlikely medium to portray a brain. But you might try
Lego is made of plastic, eh? Don't psychologists think the brain is plastic?
