Abstract
To learn the neuroanatomy is essential for the neurosurgeons. It is important to study neuroanatomy as presented in previous textbooks, and in the literature. However, it is not enough for a three-dimensional understanding. There are papers in the literature and seminars with stereoscopic views for spatial recognition, but even these do not clarify the issues for various reasons. The authors created a three-dimensional model on the basis of the data from cadaver dissection on a personal computer using Maya^[○!R] software. Three cadaver brains were used and dissected using a fiber dissection technique established by Klingler. A three-dimensional model was constructed using the photos of the dissected brain viewed from each 15 degrees. In our method, the model with colored anatomical structures was observed from any angle, any magnification, and anytime you want. We hope our model becomes utilized as a tool for studying neuroanatomy and surgical simulation.
