Not sure I'm a neuroanatomy maven, but I agree with Claudia too. I saw this on another list and the responses there were equally skeptical.

I took neuroanatomy in graduate school. Part of the course involved being able to identify structures from arbitrarily-chosen cat-brain sections. We graduate students would study the projected sections for 2 to 4 hours at a time. After a study session, we would walk down the hallway of an old building and see neural structures in the cracks and stains on the floorway.
