Brain Pro App Reviews

This app is AMAZING! I have a biology project to do at school, and I needed an app exactly like this. This is even better than I imagined. I strongly recomend Brain Pro. Its an amazing price for what you get too!!! This makes me want to buy all the other apps from 3D4Medical!

This app may be useful if you are in high school, but I am in university and this app falls very short of its $10 price tag. I expected alot more information, for some major brain structures there is only 1-2 lines. Instead of spending $10, "Why not Wikipedia??"

Extremely helpful app, especially for visual learners. Excellent for learning all of the structures in the brain (e.g. basal ganglia which can get really confusing). After a few hours using this I feel that I finally have a better understanding. The quiz mode is also extremely helpful and makes the learning a little more exciting than reading out of a textbook. Definitely worth the price!

Using this to study for university level introductory neuroanatomy and it has been a huge help!!!

Limited functionality and interactivity cripple this app. Theyve managed to cram a wealth of facts and structures into it, but the controls are limited and really makes it a really pretty piece of crap. Any amateur neuroanatomist knows that its essential to be able to recognize structures from all directions, but Brain Pro fails to deliver. For example, when you click on a pinned structure, you are granted only one view. I clicked on the head of the caudate which gave me a anterior view of a coronal section (fair) but when I attempted to navigate and view the structure from the superior end the pin disappeared. Seems like a fairly easy fix. The pin mode should also update in real time; when I am rotating the brain its somewhat irritating to have to toggle pin mode on again after rotating a few degrees. Quiz mode is pretty good, but it would be nice if you didnt have to turn off all the pins you didnt want to get quizzed on. Also, it would help to distinguish areas by color, as a pin pointing to a structure that could be as large as a gyrus or as small as a nucleus is hardly a definitive way of recognizing something in its entirety.

Really need a trackpad to slice, but it works only spotty for me. Pretty, but mostly just labels. For the brain, it would be nice to have the latest neuroscience information for each of the features. Connecting the various anatomical features that work together would be great. Room for improvement. I hope they do.

Love the graphics especially being able to change the transparency of the different layers. Also love being able to slice open the model, in fact I would ideally like more of these. Keep up the good work.

This app is good for reviewing the anatomy of the brain. You can view it and its components in several different views, such as anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, etc.

This is literaly the iPhone app dumped onto the mac. It looks as if youre running the software in an iPhone emulator. I have to imagine they used some software kit to avoid having to actually write a new piece of software. You can tell theres no great effort put into this. The underlying information and anatomy is good, but the user interface, windows, display, navigation - they all are terrible. Save the money and avoid this port until they actually take the time to write software for a computer.

This has been one of the best brain anatomy app i have ever come across. I am working as a Neuroscience researcher at UC Berkeley, Working in the field of neuroscience, i would highly recommend fellow scientist to use this app.

This app is excellent! So helpful for studying for my neuroanatomy exam

The data and the accuracy, resolution and rendering of the layers are great. One of the best I could find. It could be nice if i could really navigate inside the 3D model at any angle, instead of jumping between fixed views. Also, I would like to see the pins anchored to the anatomy as I rotate the image, instead of disappearing. It would be great to see the necessary improvements (right now seems just a basic porting from the iPad to the Mac). Keep up with the good work.

The app itself is really good, but the attention to detail is lacking, it needs inclusion of sagital sections of the brain, and may be the pathways of the cranial nerves...

I expressed my concerns to the developers previously, but was kindly ignored I am a neuropathologist and see human brains all the time! These are not accurate drawings, particularly of the basal ganglia. If you are into high school anatomy, ok, but if you are serious about neuroanatomy look for something else.

I’m a med student who was looking for a good 3D resource for our neuroscience course. Essential Anatomy doesn’t give you much more than the basics for the brain, so I was hoping BrainPro would be good. Big mistake. It’s horribly difficult to navigate, doesn’t have a moving cross-section feature (that I can find, at least), and it’s all in a window that’s the size of an iphone. Essential Anatomy is fantastic, and I was hoping that this would be EA for the brain, but I’d be better off Google Imaging “Brain” EDIT: About a month after I wrote my first review, I tried the app again. Maybe it would be more helpful this time? Absolutely not. I can’t emphasize enough how user unfriendly it is. You can’t see any views except the standard ones (superior, inferior, and the side views), and THEY DON’T HAVE ANY ADVANCED STRUCTURES. Want to see the parietal lobe? Great. Want to see where the globose nucleus is? Too bad.
