Developed by medical personnel at the Stanford University Medical Media and Information Technologies center. Brainstorm allows the user to set the pace and depth of explorations into the brain and spinal cord. Structures are presented as gross dissections, cross-sections, and diagrams. Informational screens provide notes and insights into the structures. All screens are extensively cross-referenced, for quickly moving between images and structures.
Students can test their understanding at any time by taking a quiz.
