An initiative that integrates different disciplines with the aim of comparatively studying the nervous system of different cetacean species
com 60 espécimes
de baleias e golfinhos
com 19 Institutos
This network was conceived in 2018, when then doctoral student Kamilla Souza, from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), together with her supervisors, began a project to collect the brains of these animals for her research.
Explore the largest collection of cetacean brains in Latin America, in an accessible and intuitive gallery with countless species from different regions.
To fill gaps in the understanding of the morphology and evolution of cetacean brains, using advanced methods of imaging and histology.
These methods allow a detailed analysis of brain structures and their functions, providing new perspectives on neurodiversity.
A RBNB possui um acervo de mais de 55 espécimes provenientes de 13 espécies diferentes de cetáceos.
The specimens were acquired through partnerships with 14 research institutes along the Brazilian coast and in the Amazon Basin.
