“ is allowing visitors to get inside the brain, teaching us the eight key concepts we all need to know about how the brain works, showcasing a scientifically accurate, interactive 3D model of the brain that reveals internal structures,” says John Morrison, the site’s editor-in-chief. It’s a pretty compelling pitch, one I couldn’t pass on when BrainFacts asked me to take a shot at 3D Brain and see if I like it. It’s the first platform of its kind, devoted to giving anybody with an internet connection, no matter their background, a basic understanding of how our brain works and how it shapes our behavior, wants, and fears.
With that in mind, a “public information initiative of The Kavli Foundation, the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, and the Society for Neuroscience – global nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing brain research,” has teamed up with the Wellcome Trust, a biomedical research charity based in London, UK, to create a very fun tool named “3D Brain” (link at the bottom of the article.) Knowledge on its own isn’t much use, however, if it doesn’t work its way into still-functioning brains. Naturally, researchers have been trying to unlock its secrets out for a long time now, and although there’s still more to discover, our understanding of the brain is deeper than ever. Now, you can explore its intricacies in a novel interactive platform dubbed 3D Brain. Wonderfully resourceful and frighteningly complex, the human brain took us from bashing sticks together in the stone age to a force of geological proportions.
