Scientific American (SA) points out that although there are medical illustrators on staff at the University of Southern California it is highly likely that they were not consulted before putting out the cited press release about a $50 million dollar donation. The brain is shown back to front!

Additional images of the brain are available from Google.

Update: 04/05 18:27 GMT by mrcoolbp : User wantkitteh points out that the inaccurate image has been pulled from the USC links (though it's showing in the SA article at the time of this update)

    They rewrote the post and the screw up is hilarious. A new brain institute screws up in a big way when announcing themselves to the world. Every neuroscience department is laughing their asses off. Backwards brain.
