E-Resource Spotlight: Draw It to Know It
Draw It To Know It facilitates understanding of the structure of human neuroanatomy. The database contains four principal components: tutorials, slides, a brain atlas, and muscle-nerve illustrations. The tutorials and slides focus on 24 subsections of overall human neuroanatomy, each containing approximately a half dozen further sub-divisions, allowing users to drill down to very specific areas and functionalities. In the tutorial section, a voice-over describes specific structures, simultaneously drawing and labeling them. The slide section provides a progressive outline of the drawings withlabels which users can operate forward or back at their own pace. The third component, the brain atlas, allow users to view cross sections of human neuroanatomy in forty different areas using data drawn from reliable scientific publishers such as Elsevier, Thieme, Springer, and Oxford. The muscle-nerve component provides a schematic of specific muscle nerve interaction along with labeled anatomical photographs to illustrate the area under discussion. The full-time team of Draw It To Know It consists of PhD and MD educators, editors, and artists that work closely together to create content that is comprehensive, yet told through a simple instructive-style narrative.
