Computer-Based Visualization System for the Study of Deep Brain Structures Involved in Parkinson’s Disease
Abstract:
Parkinson’s Disease is characterized by alterations in deep brain structures and pathways involved in movement control. However, the understanding of neuroanatomy and spatial relationships of deep brain structures remains a challenge for medical students. Recent developments in information technology may help provide new instructional material that addresses this problem. This paper aims to develop an interactive and digital tool to enhance the study of the anatomical and functional neurological basis involved in Parkinson’s Disease. This tool allows the organization and exploration of complex neuroanatomical contents related with Parkinson’s Disease in an attractive and interactive way. Educational implications of this tool are analyzed.
