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 clearest difference is rating: Case Files at 5.0 against Brain Anatomy's 4.1. Case Files also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Brain Anatomy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (24 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
