A collection of one hundred brains stored in a basement at the University of Texas have gone missing.
'Professor Tim Schallert, co-curator of the University of Texas collection, said he and colleagues thought the specimens had been stolen but "we don't know at all for sure". '
The brains were stored in the basement of the animal resources center when they were given to the university by a hospital 28 years ago, as professors didn't have room for them in their labs. They speculate they may have been taken as a student prank.
I hope LE in the area have been informed, otherwise I can see a lot of their time and resources being wasted if human brains begin turning up in unusual places.
