OVERVIEW:
Brain and Nervous System Pro III now features multiple orthogonal slices on the transverse, sagittal and coronal planes, meaning you can 'slice' through the brain effortlessly to reveal the inner anatomy of the brain, from top to bottom, left to right and front to back. The app is unsurpassed in its level of detail and interactivity. Now with a simple swipe of your finger, you can explore neuroanatomy from a basic to advanced level.

This upgrade also features spectacular animations, which offer insights into diseased states and functional anatomy down to the cellular level. Additionally, an entirely new and comprehensive peripheral nervous system is now incorporated, while the central nervous system has been expanded within a detailed spinal column.

Brain and Nervous System Pro III includes two new levels in brain, which detail the ventricular systems and Brodmann areas, making it the most comprehensive neuroanatomical app on the market.

### 2/5 — Not worth the $10

*2022-04-20, version 3.8.3*

This app looked promising but it was very disappointing. The quality of the images is terrible, the pin method is ineffective and the interface is not very user friendly. I would not recommend it at all and I’m surprised it has 4.2 stars

### 1/5 — Download issues

*2022-02-21, version 3.8.3*

Won’t let me download the app…. N I need help

### 1/5 — It’s a real stinker

*2020-12-15, version 3.8.3*

To be avoided as it appears to be made for a much smaller screen . Everything is blurry and it freezes constantly. Wish I could get my money back.

### 2/5 — Extremely disappointing...

*2020-09-24, version 3.8.3*

I got this mainly for a neuroanatomy course and its .. useless.. 

1. The “search” option is not good, i can’t just click on the head and have it zoom in on the brain, i have to search up a structure that is inside the skull for it to remove the skull? I can’t even ask it to remove a layer right from the beginning.
2. There are no labels for anything? So essentially if i think maybe that a structure is the corpus callosum, i can’t just click it or see the names of the structures, i again have to search corpus callosum, and see if it points to the same structure. 
3. You can tell it to take certain sections but you cannot tell it how. Eg, i want to see coronal sections of the brain but i would prefer to view from an anterior perspective (as if i were looking at the person) which i know is just picky but there is no way.. i have to view it from the back. There is an option to make your own cuts but then when you make your own cuts there isnt an option to slide the cut to fully view all the structures front to back. 
4. I just downloaded it on a brand new iPad Pro an its having trouble doing things at an appropriate speed, its buggy. It takes a few seconds for it to register that i swiped or pressed something. 
5. I tried going to the question mark (help section) and its just a blank scream that plays music (presumably a video without the image) and when i try to click on a help video it just adjusts the volume....? I have no idea where that came from.. 
6. When you are scrolling on the model, it can only go up/down or left/right, it can’t be just toggled to get the view you actually want, which is literally the entire point of having a model instead of a textbook. 

For $13.99 this app is absolute garbage and i really hope i can get my money back because it has 0 educational value for me.

### 5/5 — Awesome for Teaching Neuro Basics

*2020-08-31, version 3.8.3*

I use this app to show directional terms, planes of dissection, lobes etc. Very easy to use and great tools like slicing, pen to write  on screen\images, and short clips to detail disease effects such as myelin degradation in MS. Love it!

### 4/5 — Could use a tweek

*2017-10-07, version 3.8.2*

I purposely have not upgraded to iOS 11 until the update is complete for this app. 

The issue I have is that pins are in the way of structures. I would suggest being able to turn off selective pins - toggle.

Otherwise it is a very nice app.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2017-09-25, version 3.8*

Does not work with IOS 11.

### 1/5 — Will be dead soon

*2017-06-24, version 3.8*

On first launch on iOS 10, a dialog tells me the app may not work soon. Presumably because it is 32 bit or something. Besides that, the UI is horribly unintuitive. I can't imagine using this for demonstration with patients and fumbling through the UI. Also the cuts on the scans are super thick - like a total of 10 transverse cuts. Not a whole lot of detail over just getting some images off google.

### 5/5 — Know my enemy!

*2017-03-12, version 3.8*

Awesome! I'm using it to explore my brain.  I had a stroke two years ago and want to learn!

### 5/5 — Great App for Med School

*2017-02-17, version 3.8*

This app helped me understand the neuro spatial relationships for med school.  I especially like how the brain can be oriented in different planes and dimensions, and each view has the option to show pins on the various structures.  It also offers the option to add notes onto individual pins, or to add your own pins.  It's well worth the money--just wish I would have found this app sooner.
