WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT THE ANIMATED BRAIN

"your new work excels in presenting the human nervous system in an integrated package. While many texts and programs are available, few succeed as you have. The greatest strength of the Animated Brain is its ability to glide seamlessly through multiple levels of inquiry, linking such diverse lines of investigation as cytoarchitecture, psychobiology, classic neuroanatomy, and psychology a significant contribution to the universe of neuroscience teaching." Dr. Bodan Chopko, Chief Resident, Neurological Surgery, University of California, San Diego.

"We found the Animated Brain to be a very useful program for our graduate students interested in learning more about neuroanatomy/neurophysiology and behavior in a semester course. The computerized approach provides a very nice pictorial representation of the dynamic events in the central nervous system that can be hard to visualize. The students appreciated the fact that this material was easily accessible through their computer as a complement to the text. Congratulations on developing such a nice system to explain a sometimes difficult topic." Dr. David C. Riccio, Professor of Psychology, Kent State University.

"It was so well received that many participants commented that they would like the hospital to purchase this software for continuing education and reference." Dr. Jeffrey Kreuzberg, Edwin Shaw Hospital.

"This multimedia interactive computer text is a helpful adjunct for students struggling with neuroanatomy… Instructors will find many of the animations of various tracts and structures to be excellent teaching aids… Therapists interested in refreshing their neuroanatomy knowledge will find the program interesting and engaging." Karen Mcculloch, MS. PT, NCS, University of North Carolina, Reviewed in "Physical Therapy Case Reports", 1999, Vol. 2/No. 3.

"This interactive CD-ROM on brain anatomy and biopsychology can be used for individual study, class presentations, or lab excercises." Reviewed in "Syllabus", March 2000.

"The Animated Brain serves a valuable resource role in several [of my] courses, including The Medical Foundations and the Drug and alcohol courses. Student understanding is increased and my students frequently comment on how interesting it is and much easier it is to understand the neurological and behavioral aspects of disability. I incorporate this program into my conventional and web-based courses and find it a powerful teaching and learning resource." Gary Szirony, Ph.D., CRC Rehabilitation Program, Kent State University.

"My students really enjoyed the [Animated Brain] software as a textbook." Dr. Scott Krauchunas, Assistant Professor, Saint Anselm College.

"I really enjoy the Animated Brain. It is an effective way to review Brain Biology." Dr Masaharu Iwasaki, University of Kyoto.

"The Animated Brain" interactive CD has been instrumental in enhancing public knowledge of the brain and the awareness of the recent advances in brain research." Dr. Norbert Myslinski, Associate Professor, University of Maryland.
