The nervous system is incredibly complex, even without considering the central hub of the brain. Nerves travel throughout the entire body, constantly sending and receiving information about our internal and external representations of the world. If you’re curious about the dozens of nerves that encode this information, the Nervous System Reference Guide is an excellent place to start. The app provides extensive information about all nerves in the body, from the cranial nerves around the head down to the lumbosacral nerves that innervate the legs and feet. The app divides information into sections based on nerve type and provides extensive information about where the nerves travel and what they innervate. Each section also includes extensive diagrams and images, and users can search for a nerve of interest or save those that are most relevant to them. Nervous System Reference Guide is an excellent app for reviewing neuroanatomy and provides extensive information about all aspects of the nervous system.
