View the Brain like Never Before!







Have you heard of BrainNavigator, a finalist in the ALPSP Publishing Innovation award? It’s a tool that takes the concept of a printed brain atlas to a whole new level. BrainNavigator is designed to help researchers locate the positions of structures within the brain, making visualization and understanding the brain easier. And if you work with neuroscientists, odds are it’s a tool they are talking about or interested in.

To learn more about BrainNavigator check out this NPR Clip, read the linked press release, or view this video on the features and benefits of BrainNavigator. It’s state of the art science and technology. It’s fascinating whether or not you’re a neuroscientist!

You can also learn more on Library Connect!
