NeuroSlice for Android

Interactive neuroanatomy appLearn your neuroanatomy using interactive mapped images. Each slice has neuroanatomical regions mapped out so that you can familiarise yourself with nuclei and tracts of the brain and spinal cord. I hope that NeuroSlice will be useful to training neurologists, neurosurgeons, medical students, and neuroscience students.This is the very first release; if you have any problems with this app, please email me and I'll try and fix it in the update!Neuroscan comprises 40 images taken from MRI scans and stained brain sections, which have been digitally labeled with the anatomical regions. They are all downloaded in the 6MB so you can browse offline.The program allows you to 1) touch a region to highlight it, and its name will be displayed 2) select the name of a region, and the region will be highlighted 3) search the database of regions to show which slices a given locus is visible.Most regions also have a short description, explaining the significance of the region. and can link out to Wikipedia if you have an internet connection. Finally, there is a testing-mode (beta) in which you can test yourself in one of two ways. Either you have to touch the region whose name is shown, or you have to select the name of the region which is highlighted. The app is provided as a free accompaniment to the textbook Neurophysiology by Roger Carpenter (Hodder publishers). The software is written by Sanjay Manohar ( http://www.smanohar.com ) who also wrote the HOM physiology simulator (http://www.homphysiology.org).
