Brains Missing From University of Texas




Maybe they are the missing brains of Washington DC politicians.

[From article]
"We think somebody may have taken the brains, but we don't know at all for sure," psychology Professor Tim Schallert, co-curator of the collection, told the Austin American-Statesman [. . .]
The Austin State Hospital had transferred the brains to the university about 28 years ago under a "temporary possession" agreement. Schallert said his psychology lab had room for only 100 brains, so the rest were moved to the basement of the university's Animal Resources Center.
"They are no longer in the basement," Cormack said.
[. . .]
The university's agreement with the hospital required the school to remove any data that might identify the person from whom the brain came.
