Here is how it works: Enter symptoms or abnormal exam and the neuroanatomic pathways are drawn out for you. This exercise is called “localizing the lesion,” and Neuro Localizer will help you do it. When a person – or a gingerbread man – has neurologic deficits, you need to know where the problem is in order to figure out what it is. We have determined that the same pathways are found in the nervous system of the gingerbread man.
The human nervous system is made up of a number of overlapping and crossing pathways. Designed by a team of neurologists at the University of Michigan, Neuro Localizer is a free application for medical professionals – or for anyone who wants to know more about how the nervous system works - interested in exploring the basics of neurologic localization.
