3D Brain

DNA Learning Center

About this app

Use your touch screen to rotate and zoom around the interactive brain structures. Discover how each brain region functions, what happens when it is injured, and how it is involved in mental illness. Each detailed structure comes with information on functions, disorders, brain damage, case studies, and links to modern research.

Ratings and reviews

This app is in no way 3d. It is just an interactive set of still pictures, kind of like street view on maps. Which makes it impossible to manually select a brain region and see what it is. You can only select from a list and I guess that is fine but 3D makes me think of an interactive 3D model which this is not

Very limited in functionality, very basic. Technically not 3D. Can't select more than one item at a time (eg thalamus & lateral ventricles). Doesn't split up (eg different types of ventricles). Parts missing, eg putuity gland & optic chasm.

Except for search(which says it's only for older android), works mostly. Uses a bunch of images for the 3D view, which is a total ~14 MB download. Has 3D for ~30 different parts of the brain, using image transparency for improved visuals. In addition to the 3D, there's a labelled image view and a text description view. The image quality is low but that's ok. Works as a quick ref
