Could use a Virtual Brain...

by sllowe, Oct 27, 2008 06:13PM
Hey,

I just thought of this again because Sarahsmom brought up grey matter, and it's so very hard to visualize our brains on the inside, i.e., where the white matter ends, where the grey matter starts, and all the inbetweens.  I've thought about it before, but was wondering if anyone knew of a website that had a "virtual brain" on it.

Wouldn't that be so cool? Especially if it were interactive? So much so that we could click on it and such? Hey, why not a whole virtual CNS? Maybe Medhelp could find us one!

Juuuuust thinking out loud....we could take a tour right from our seats!

Sometimes I think that I have a virtual brain!  :-)

If you do find such a site - please let me know!

That sounds like a really cool thing!

It's been virtually impossible for me to find my own brain lately.....hee...hee....hee

Anyone seen it hiding around in cyberspace anywhere?

this  one isn't interactive but does have an easy to understand chart linking the spinal column and CNS with different body functions - I like pictures!!
