The traditional methods of studying neuroanatomical structures use serial sections through fixed brains, often with special stains, in the coronal, sagittal and horizontal planes. More recent methods include MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans of similar sections of live brains. These methods do not allow for visualization of the three dimensional form of brain structures. Here we present high quality three-dimensional MRI movies and still pictures of the human brain and its location inside of the skull. These will be available for study worldwide on the web. The movies show serial three-dimensional sections through the brain in the coronal, sagittal and horizontal planes. The movies allow one to follow a structure as it progresses through a particular region of the brain. In addition, we have labeled the neuroanatomical details in a select number of sections in each plane. Also presented are sections stained for fibers and for cell bodies corresponding to selected MRI scans in each plane.
