What is in the model

The brain is split into its named gyri and sulci, so each lobe is a group of parts you can tap one by one.

Frontal lobe

36 parts

For example: Orbital gyri (Frontomarginal gyrus and sulcus), Paracentral gyrus and sulcus, Transverse frontopolar gyrus and sulcus

Temporal lobe

12 parts

For example: Temporal pole Polus temporalis, Inferior temporal sulcus Sulcus temporalis inferior, Inferior temporal gyrus Gyrus temporalis inferior

Occipital lobe

18 parts

For example: Occipital pole Polus occipitalis, Inferior occipital gyrus and sulcus, Lingual gyrus Gyrus lingualis

Cerebellum

31 parts

For example: Wing of central lobule Ala lobuli centralis, Uvula of vermis Uvula vermis, Tuber of vermis Tuber vermis

Cranial nerves

24 parts

For example: Olfactory nerve (I) Nervus olfactorius (I), Optic nerve (II) Nervus opticus (II), Oculomotor nerve (III) Nervus oculomotorius (III)

Median nerve

12 parts

For example: Common palmar digital branches of median nerve Rami digitales palmares communes nervi mediani, Communicating branch of median nerve with ulnar nerve, Median nerve Nervus medianus

How to study it here

  1. 1

    Map the lobes

    Tap the central sulcus first. The frontal lobe is in front of it and the parietal lobe behind it.

  2. 2

    Trace a cranial nerve

    Follow the trigeminal nerve from the brainstem to its branches in the face.

  3. 3

    Quiz yourself

    Quiz asks you to find a named gyrus, sulcus or nerve. A wrong tap tells you which part you picked.

Questions

Questions people ask

Are all twelve cranial nerves in the model?
Yes, from the olfactory nerve (I) to the hypoglossal nerve (XII), with the main branches of several of them.
Can I see the brain inside the skull?
Yes. Switch Skeleton on in the row of systems and use X-ray to see the brain through the skull.
Do I need to install anything?
No, it runs in your browser. The Anatomy 3D app for Android has the same model for studying offline.
