The other colors indicate fibers that are crossing in different directions.Blue indicates directions in the Z axis: foot-to-head direction or vice versa.Green indicates directions in the Y axis: front to back or vice versa.Red indicates directions in the X axis: right to left or vice versa.Each color represents a different direction of the fibers. Each line represents a bundle of nerve fibers wrapped in a myelin sheaths, which insulate the fibers thereby speeding up the rate of communication between brain regions. The vertical left menu provides reference images on coronal and sagittal views of the brain, with anatomical schemas based on a three dimensional (3D) model.This colorful brain scan is a 3D model created by tractography, which uses data collected with diffusion weighted MRI to map the brain's white matter.The MRI is a particularly powerful exam for studying structures such as diencephalon, mesencephalon (mid brain), pons, myelencephalon (medulla oblongata, bulb) and spinal cord.As the cursor is moved over a particular anatomical area, that area is highlighted and labeled: this feature has been chosen to show encephalic lobes: frontal, occipital, parietal, temporal, insula, cerebellum (anterior, posterior and flocculonodular lobes).Pituitary and pineal glands are regrouped as “gland”. The study of the vascularisation of the brain is possible with the arteries and venous sinuses sections. The horizontal menu gives access to several groups of anatomical structures: encephalic sulci and gyri, limbic system, white matter, ventricle and cisterns architecture, basal nuclei and related structures, optic tract, cerebellum with its lobes according to numbered nomenclature, spinal cord.The quiz mode allows the comprehensive evaluation of user progress. Images are labeled, providing an invaluable teaching resource.

It provides access to an atlas and to images in axial planes, allowing the user to learn and review neuroanatomy interactively. This module is a comprehensive and affordable learning tool for medical students and residents and especially for neuroradiologists and radiation oncologists.
