I created Brain Anatomy as my graduation thesis work. It's an interactive human neuroanatomy atlas. You will find: lateral surface of human brain, dorsal surface, medial surface, many coronal and horizontal sections and all brodmann areas. It is possible to have a test to verify what you know about neuroanatomy for each section. This application was created with supervision by Prof. John Kubie, Department of Cell Biology at Suny Downstate Medical Center and Prof. Alessandro Angrilli, Dept of General Psychology at University of Padua, Italy.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brain Anatomy at 76% against CT Anatomy's 0%. Brain Anatomy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 18.5). CT Anatomy's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (125 vs 24). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CT Anatomy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CT Anatomy has 125 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Brain Anatomy's written reviews are positive against 0% of CT Anatomy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Brain Anatomy ships an update every 31 months, CT Anatomy every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
