Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Anatomy
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Neurologists require efficient access to neuroanatomical information.
  • Existing references may lack comprehensive pathway data or accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a detailed and accessible neuroanatomical reference for clinical neurology.
  • To create a digital data bank of efferent and afferent neuroanatomical pathways.

Main Methods:

  • Development of NERVTRACK, a database with 4000 anatomical data items.
  • Data organized in a tree-like structure to represent relationships.
  • Designed for IBM-compatible microcomputers, including laptops.

Main Results:

  • NERVTRACK provides answers to clinical questions regarding muscle innervation.
  • It identifies muscles affected by neurological lesions.
  • It details muscle synergists, antagonists, and clinical testing methods.

Conclusions:

  • NERVTRACK serves as a fast and comfortable reference for clinical practice.
  • The program is a readily accessible teaching aid for neuroanatomy.
  • It enhances diagnostic capabilities for neurologists.
