Users can navigate eight layers of brain anatomy, view cross sections and nerve pathways, insert notes, and peruse clinical findings.

The app includes 30,000 neuroanatomy words.

Of all the subjects best taught in 3D, anatomy has got to be up there. And when it comes to human anatomy, the brain is arguably the most complex organ, if not system, of them all.

So it's fitting that 3-year-old medical education app publisher eMedia out of Ireland is adding the Pocket Brain app to its suite of 3D Pocket Anatomy offerings. (First came the body and the heart.) For $19.99, the interactive app for iPhone and iPad renders the old-fashioned textbook pretty close to obsolete.

A few particularly inspired features: the 3D rotating brain includes nine layers to explore; relevant clinical cases; easy note insertion; various quizzes; and more. And because all content lives in the app itself, no Wi-Fi or 3G is required.

Clearly designed with medical and nursing students in mind, Pocket Brain may also serve as the ideal "I'd like to kill some time" tool for those of us who get our thrills memorizing things we're only ever really tested on during trivia night.

The app's developers enjoy a sense of humor, too. Check out their teaser below, aptly choreographed to "If I Only Had a Brain."

The Challenge: Create art for an exhibition to be shown during a visit to the School of Fashion by Jean Paul Gaultier.

The Participants: Fashion Illustration students in FSH 102, 112, 640, 371 and Fashion Merchandising students in FSH 320 Interpreting and Reporting Fashion Students

The Deadline: Mid-March

What goes into creating a mixed media exhibition using large-scale artwork? Create a meaningful activity and fill the task with a collective purpose while giving the project to fashion students and you will find out.

When the semester started, School of Fashion Executive Director Gladys Perint Palmer and Director Simon Ungless gave illustration students an opportunity to shine. Please create large scale mixed media work that will showcase the point of view of a fashion student in the School of Fashion. Work with each other using research about Jean Paul Gualtier from the Interpreting and Reporting Fashion class to help you get inspired. You have six weeks to complete the work and hang the show.

The first step was to form groups and this started the first week of school. Students met each other, collaborated and brainstormed ideas, and began the semester on a high note. What a great way to begin collaborating (a life long pursuit for a fashion student). Fellow students names were soon learned, interesting work began, and the excitement started to build.

Assisted by the students from Hersha Steinbocks FSH 320 class, the illustration classes began to receive research on a weekly basis. This helpful material allowed the creativity to be informed by extensive knowledge of Jean Paul Gaultiers work.

A group of students brainstorming and creating a mock up to present to the class. L-R: Clifford Grant, Rigo Garcia, Thomas Murphy, Isabella Sen, and Brandon Kee work on their presentation.

Following the initial project guidelines, students began working on drawings that would show a larger than life scale of their weekly workshop assignment. Combining curriculum and a special project proved to be no problem for the motivated students.

The Anatomy of an Art Exhibition

Danish artist Troels Carlsen is inspired by the human condition, specifically how art has captured human life over the last few centuries.  I love that he uses old anatomical texts and illustrations as a base and inspiration for some of his pieces.  He doesn’t just cut them out and use them as a collage, but rather uses them as his canvas.  I suggest watching the above video on him to truly get a sense of his style.

Above are some photos from the recent Valentine's Day edition of our most popular and most often sold out of Observatory class, Anthropomorphic Mouse Taxidermy Class with Susan Jeiven. Sue was recently profiled by the Spanish Television network Telemundo in a piece entitled "Pasatiempos controversial: Disecan animales muertos para decorar;" you can view it in its entirety by clicking here.

For those interested in studying with Sue, in making your own pieces and learning this largely lost Victorian art: I am pleased to announce a few rare vacancies in some upcoming classes; click here to find out more.

More from Italy, as I sort through my thousands of photographs: I don't know much about the top piece, but I am guessing it is a 18th or early 19th century Madonna Dolorosa, Mater Dolorosa, or Lady of Sorrows, a popular motif in Naples; we spotted it at one of the many antiques shops we popped into on our trip. The bottom image is my own Madonna Dolorosa, made by the workshop of Giuseppe and Marco Ferrigno, a studio which continues to create--by hand!--fine Baroque-style crèches and terracotta figures of the sort for which Naples is still, rightrully, renowned.
