This interactive neuroanatomy atlas features a selected list of the most clinically relevant neuroanatomical structures with descriptions of their functions. The majority of images in the program are MR generated to familiarize the student with media that they will encounter in the clinic. Surface features are illustrated, and cross sections of spinal cord and brain stem were generated from whole slices. All of the images have a “vascular territories” overlay accessed by toggle switch, so that the user is able to correlate neural functions with vascular anatomy to facilitate understanding of stroke syndromes.
