The Sensory Homonculus. (It was next to the Motor cortex homonculus (proportional space devoted in the motor cortex to control, but the sensory one is more interesting. Even if they did leave out the gargantuan penis+scrotum [which most textbooks do as well])

The rocket on the right is definitely an Ariane 5. Not sure about the one on the left.

On discovering that most soldiers during the American Civil War were dying of disease rather than gunshots, he turned his mind to, rather than providing better sanitary conditions and medical care for troops, creating a machine to make sure they got shot faster.
