Development of an Interactive Canine Central Nervous System Atlas and Initial Outcomes

Abstract

Neuroanatomy encompasses one of the most important and complex topics in anatomy. An accurate interpretation and thorough understanding of the nervous structures could be helpful for students and clinicians. Therefore, this work aimed to perform an interactive atlas viewing software of the canine central nervous system (CNS) using images acquired by osteology, gross dissection, and sections in different planes that could serve as anatomic references for this region. We believe this atlas can help students during the teaching and learning process, providing them with digital support that they can consult online while enrolled in our course. Thus, facilitating autonomy and activity, and promoting the leadership of students in monitoring their training process.
