The intricate architecture of the brain and spinal cord and detailed anatomical content.
Brain Anatomy
Six core regions orchestrate cognition, emotion, movement, and survival.
The outer neural layer governing perception, thought, language, and voluntary movement.
Subcortical nuclei critical for motor control, procedural learning, and reward.
The emotional brain managing memory, motivation, and affective responses.
Relay center housing the thalamus, hypothalamus, and pineal gland.
Controls vital autonomic functions: breathing, heart rate, consciousness.
Coordinates movement precision, balance, and motor learning.
Spinal Anatomy
The primary conduit between brain and body, carrying motor commands down and sensory information up through organized tracts.
White Matter Tracts
Protection & Support
Membranes, fluid systems, and vasculature that protect and nourish the CNS.
CSF-producing cavities within the brain
Three protective membrane layers
Arterial and venous blood supply
Microscopic Level
Electrically excitable cells transmitting signals through chemical and electrical mechanisms.
Primary excitatory cortical neurons
Large GABAergic cerebellar neurons
Local circuit modulators
Non-neuronal support cells providing structure, metabolism, and immune defense.
BBB regulation, synapse support
CNS myelinating cells
Resident immune cells
Functional Networks
Fine touch, vibration, proprioception to somatosensory cortex.
Pain and temperature to thalamus and cortex.
Retinal signals via optic nerve to occipital cortex.
Primary voluntary motor control pathway.
Basal ganglia circuits for posture and tone.
Movement timing and precision coordination.
Fight-or-flight through thoracolumbar outflow.
Rest-and-digest via craniosacral circuits.
Autonomic-endocrine integration center.
Access interactive 3D models, clinical cases, and self-assessments.
