Horse Brain Cast Replica for Equine Study
Horse brain cast replica measures 5.7 x 3.6 x 3.3 inches. E. ferus brain is museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from a CAS specimen. 1:1. Made in USA.
The horse’s brain is a complex structure that controls all the body systems, from intentional movement to uncontrolled mechanisms like the heartbeat.
At its core, the brain is a network of neurons, specialized cells that produce and carry electrical signals. Neurons work by producing an electric current in response to a stimulus. The electric current travels down axons, the branching terminal ends of the cell, which transmit the electrical signal to other axons, muscles, or glands.

Viewing a horse brain alongside modern specimens reveals the developmental path of the Equus genus. Creating an expert research display involves grouping this brain with replicas of a domestic horse female skull replica, a Przewalski’s horse skull replica and a Mesohippus bairdi skeleton replica. This exact setup allows for an immediate comparison of neural patterns and cranial scale across different prehistoric and modern eras.
