Brain and Nervous Anatomy Atlas is a quick visual reference on nervous system anatomy, physiology, and common pathologies. This iPhone/iPad app includes hundreds of 3D models, animations, and illustrations.
This app is ideal for professional reference and as a tool for patient education on topics including the central nervous system, somatic nerves, brain, muscle contraction, vision, and hearing.
Content in this app includes:
(1) Animations and illustrations.
(2) Dozens of 3D models of nervous structures, along with a limited number of models from other body systems.
(3) Definitions and pronunciations for over 1,000 anatomical structures of the nervous system.
(4) Descriptions of more than 25 common diseases.
What you can do with this app:
(1) See structures of the nervous system in 3D. Study any structure’s name and pronunciation, or read about its function and common diseases.
(2) Quick access to 24 preset views. Customize these views by adding or dissecting any nervous structures. Save or share views.
(3) Test your knowledge: Take quizzes with over 100 quiz questions that review nervous structures.

Latest reviews of Brain and Nervous Anatomy Atlas: Essential Reference for Students and Healthcare Professionals app for iPhone and iPad
Wonderful app for explaining to patients and families where there injuries are.
I love the ease of use and massive amount of information accessible in this app, yet the weakness is in details and functional graphics related to things like vestibular nerve. Its good and very useful, but Id like to see more detail.
Quite good interface but not enough items, not enough complete for this price. No Insular lobe? Locus Niger? Globus pallidus? Spinal cord sections? Impossible to divide the telencephalon, but you have to click on all the teeth to select them. And maybe other problems I havent seen yet
In general this app is to basic for a med student. The Peripheral nerves are great for viewing 3D and how they relate to other structures. But the brain component of it is terrible! It only has the most basic structures (pons, midbrain, medulla, etc) for instance the thalamus is not subdivided by nuclei, I was hoping to find a 3D version of the brainstem with all the cranial nerve nuclei, I wanted to find the substantia nigra but it wasnt there either. Would be great if you could be more detailed with brain structures, or make sure to market it not for med students.
This app simply doesnt offer the details we should expect from a single system focused app. I have the full Visible Body and would have expected either this to be clearly identified as a component contained within the larger app, or as a more detailed version. Failed on both counts.
