3D models of the brain: As a supplement to assist you in interpreting the representations of the brain in 3D4 Complete Anatomy, here is a link to another 3D model online (a 3D scan of a plastic model) that you can freely rotate (scroll to zoom, drag to rotate, and Shift-drag to pan). Below, I have labeled some of the structures in screenshots, to assist your learning of the three-dimensional relationships. This model shows less detail than 3D4, although in some respects it is more accurate.
