Although not identical, the sheep brain holds many biological similarities to the human brain, much more so than a bird's or fish's, as both are mammals. Since it is considered much more humane to not use an actual human brain for study, brains from preserved sheep are examined by students to draw the composition of the brain and obtain physical experience.

The human brain is larger. The positioning of the hind brain is different, due to the erect position of humans. Convolutions are increased in humans (increases surface area). The sheep's brain has a smaller cerebellum (lesser motor control/less complex learned motor behaviors). There is a larger pineal gland in sheep (related to circadian rhythms/seasonal reproduction).
