Sylvius 2.0

Sylvius 2.0 features a completely redesigned, intuitive, and larger (800X600) interface, colorized (vs. greyscale) brains, functional information on labeled structures, audio pronunciation of neuroanatomical terms, and a self-quiz mode. The program consists of six interactive modules: Surface Anatomy (shows whole-brain surface features from eight different vantage points); Sectional Anatomy (virtually sections the whole-brain specimen in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes); Spinal Cord and Brainstem (uses a cross-sectional atlas or whole-brain model to examine these structures); Pathways (focuses on the major neural connections and pathways); Animations (QT and QTVR movies of both whole and dissected rotations); and Index and Reference (searches the visual glossary for a brief description of about 200 anatomical structures).
