Derivation of the Brain Tree

BrainTree is derived from an anatomical specimen of the brain.  The forebrain has been artistically rendered to create the leaves and branches of the tree.  The trunk and the roots extend from the hind brain and the top of the spinal cord. The title is a play on a town in Massachusetts, and the theme of the recurring pattern of the tree like structures in the body.
