Eating brain and Salmon Caviar

Be very careful with eating neural tissue. Mad cow disease emerged from cows eating neural tissue that "spontaneously" become contaminated with prions (type of misfolded proteins). In infected animals, the brain has the highest concentration of prions so be careful. And it has occurred that the disease has spread to humans by eating infected bovine brains; the disease is called Variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.

I couldn't find brain anywhere so I bought the full head of a lamb.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to cook this lamb head and then crack open the skull...?

It makes me sad... lol

But then i dont. get (DHA, phospholipid-bound DHA, phosphatidylserine, plasmalogens, sphingomyelin, gangliosides (GM1, GD1a, GT1b), cholesterol, arachidonic acid, vitamin B12, preformed retinol (vitamin A), vitamin K2 (MK-4), vitamin D3, creatine, taurine, carnosine, anserine, carnitine, CoQ10, heme iron, highly bioavailable zinc, phosphatidylcholine-bound choline, selenocysteine in animal-specific selenoproteins). obviously. 🙄 😭 😭 😭

So now i need to crack open that skull 😭

Bonesaw.

I've only sliced brains but not opened skulls before.

Like I said, I've never done it before 😀

I'm unsure if it will at any point crack like an egg because of the thickness (ChatGPT it).

And You call yourself a neuroscientist! How do you know there's even a brain in there!
