Axiom Neuro - 3D Neuroanatomy and Neurology

Attention Mac owners: Axiom Neuro is now available for the Mac!

"I found the program to be very impressive... [and] will certainly refer my students to it. I would recommend it to any student of neuroscience and to nonclinical instructors who might benefit from the clinical cases."
- American Association of Anatomists News, Sept. 2010

Axiom Neuro is a revolutionary program that uses over 125 3D animation clips to illustrate the functional neuroanatomy of the spinal cord and brainstem as well as cranial nerves. In addition, a virtual patient gives users an animated tutorial of the clinical signs and symptoms of some of the most common strokes and neurological pathologies young health professionals are likely to encounter.

It is designed as a supplement to traditional textbooks and atlases, not a replacement, and therefore is able to focus on visually-oriented learning, giving users an easy-to-grasp view of the most important concepts. Celebrated for its unique approach by both students and professors alike, Axiom Neuro has been used by students in 30 countries and by faculty, libraries and labs at numerous schools including:

University of Central Florida
University of Texas, San Antonio
University of Southern California
Stanford University
Case Western Reserve University
University of Miami

Unlike anything else on the market today, Axiom Neuro gives a truly intuitive and interactive view of one of the most complex systems the human body has to offer. Be sure to download the free demo version here. Axiom Neuro is available both for Windows and Mac computers.

"I love this neuroanatomy animation set up. It is the best program I have seen in this area. I learn best visually and this way of learning is far better than any previous text learning for me."

Associate Professor, Rural Clinical School of Western Australia

Over 125 animations with nearly 75 minutes of running time spanning three modules: functional pathways, cranial nerves and the virtual patient

True 3D animation renders spinal cord and brainstem anatomy in detail, giving the user an up-close and personal view of the complex system of functional nerve pathways. Thirteen spinal cord and brain sections, from lumbar to cervical to midbrain, let users trace the paths of 13 tracts including corticospinal, spinocerebellar and dorsal columns.

The cranial nerve anatomy and function module gives users an interactive tutorial on the intricacies of the optic nerve, the facial nerve, the trigeminal nerve and all the rest.

A virtual neurology patient lets users experience the signs and symptoms of 10 common strokes and neurological pathologies, giving them instantaneous visual feedback on differences between healthy and sick patients.

Clinical and anatomical content experts ensure the accuracy and completeness of both the functional anatomy and clinical experiences.

A preliminary study showed large improvements in students’ ability to grasp the details of the functional pathways in just a 15-minute session using Axiom Neuro versus a regular textbook. Take a look at the poster.
