The Brain
Tutorials and quizzes on the anatomy and physiology of the brain, using interactive animations and diagrams. Learn about the parts of the brain with these quizzes and diagrams.

Organization of the Cerebrum
An introduction to the Cerebrum anatomy explained beautifully in an illustrated and interactive way.

Primary Somatosenory Cortex
The primary somatosensory cortex (SI) is located just posterior to the central sulcus in the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe.

Other Motor Cortex Areas
The primary motor cortex receives input from other motor cortex areas which is needed to bring about coordinated, well-planned and purposeful movements.

Ventricles of the Brain | Ventricular System
Ventricles of the Brain; explained beautifully in an illustrated and interactive way.

Meninges of the Brain | An illustrated review
Meninges of the Brain (Dura, Arachnoid, and Pia); explained beautifully in an illustrated and interactive way.

Cerebral Cortex – Lobes, Fissures, Gyri, and Sulci
Lobes, Fissures, Gyri, and Sulci of the Cerebral Cortex; explained beautifully in an illustrated and interactive way.

Overview of Major Brain Structures and Functions
The brain is divided into the cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, and brainstem. Structures and Functions are explained beautifully in an interactive way.

Other Somatosenory Cortex Areas
Other Somatosenory Cortex Areas; explained beautifully in an illustrated and interactive way.

Primary Motor Cortex
The primary motor cortex occupies a large portion of the precentral gyrus and executes movements that are selected and planned by other areas of the brain.

Visual Cortex Areas
