BrainStorm Interactive Neuroanatomy
BrainStorm is a highly interactive program designed
for use in the teaching and review of human neuroanatomy. It features four
different presentations of neuroanatomical structures: myelin-stained Cross
Sections, color photographs of dissections, custom diagrams, and text-based
information cards. These four modes are extensively cross-referenced, allowing
the student to quickly and easily examine all aspects of a particular region
or structure. Tracts and nuclei may be followed up or down through consecutive
cross-sections. In addition, the user can test his or her knowledge by using
the quiz function. An index to all structures allows the student to direct
their study.
Included in the program is a Guide Recorder/Player which allows anatomy teachers to construct lectures using the materials in BrainStorm. Students can playback the lectures to receive a customized delivery of particular neuroanatomy topics.
- Over 190 interactive dissection, cross-section, histology, and diagrammatic images
- Normal and pathological magnetic resonance images
- Over 600 structures identified, outlined, and described
- Thousands of interactive quiz questions
- Extensive cross-referencing
Project Status
BrainStorm was first released for use by the students of Neurobiology 200 in winter quarter of 1991 and is now being used in medical schools worldwide. As of 2005, it is distributed through the University of New South Wales in Queensland, Australia.
Ordering Information
BrainStorm is available for both Mac and PC and compatible with current versions of either operating systems.
