    App allows for a richer, more robust discussion of brain parts and their functions. Can pinch and zoom in/out. Rotate by touch. Side menu provides definitions, additional discussion and links to current research related to specific parts of the brain. Very intuitive and free! Excellent app. Was fortunate to be in a classroom where all students had an iPad with this app. Students really enjoyed the learning experience. Allowed for “hands-on” learning of a very difficult topic.
