Have you ever wondered what the human brain looks like in 3D? Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has released an in depth and comprehensive app of the human brain called, 3D Brain. It is an app that is available for the iPhone and iPad. The app initially starts off by displaying a 3D image of the entire brain. This 3D image is capable of rotating on an X and Y axis, which gives a unique perspective of each area of the brain. This is incredibly useful for gathering detailed information on all the different structures of the brain. On the right side of the app, there is a side panel that can enable labels, information about specific areas of the brain, and a selection for browsing through different parts of the brain. One of the best features of the app, is the availability to search for specific areas of the brain (also located on the right side panel). The search feature is a powerful tool that provides detailed information about the area that is being searched. The app also provides links to modern research for more in-depth understanding on a specific area of the brain!

3D brain provides a great way to learn, research, and understand all the different aspects of the human brain. 3D Brain delivers a great 3D view into the human brain at you finger-tips. It is a must have for students studying neuroscience, or anyone who would like to know more about the human brain.
