Part of the UC Irvine Human Brain Project . Features low-resolution digital atlases of human and rhesus monkey brains cut in three standard planes. High-resolution images will be available soon as part of the project's goal to provide the most comprehensive and thorough information on primate brain anatomy. Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections

Black and white images of many mammalian brains, arranged by Order. Featured primate brains include chimpanzee, gorilla, human, many Old and New World monkeys, and several prosimians. Includes brain sections, and information on brain evolution. The Digital Anatomist: On-Line Interactive Atlases

Two- and three-dimensional views of images taken from cadavers, MRI scans, and computer reconstruction. Allows self-testing and labelling of various anatomical landmarks. Currently sections on the brain, thoracic viscera, and skeletal structure of the knee are available. The Etymology of Anatomy
