The Human Brain

Both students and non-scientists will find this CD-ROM an enjoyable introduction to the human brain. The six sections cover the structure and function of the brain substructure, and hearing, vision, and speech. The voice-over gives guidance in the pronunciation of latin names of various brain substructures. It includes photos, video clips and animations, and a rotatable model of the brain which allows various substructures to be highlighted. The self-testing function allows a continual assessment of understanding. A built-in photo album allows the student to keep their own record of images. The textbook "Neurobiology"by D. Robinson which can be used in conjunction with the CD-ROM can be purchased separately (ISBN 3-540-63546-7) or together with the CD-ROM (ISBN 3-540-63778-8).
