Newswise — CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (FEBRUARY 16, 2016). The Journal of Neurosurgery (JNS) Publishing Group is proud to announce a new feature available for select articles on our website (www.thejns.org): direct access to The Rhoton Collection® for a detailed neuroanatomical learning experience while reading articles featuring neuroanatomy in JNSPG journals.
Dr. Albert L. Rhoton Jr. is world renowned for his expertise in neuroanatomy, neurosurgery, and teaching. The Rhoton Collection® is an interactive online repository of educational neuroanatomical presentations, in two- and three-dimensional formats, that have been created and assembled by Dr. Rhoton and his colleagues over the past 40 years. The Rhoton Collection® offers detailed information on brain structures and their relationships via slides, video lectures, and an interactive atlas.
Select neuroanatomical studies published in our journals will offer the reader instant access to The Rhoton Collection®, without the need to leave the article page. A click on anatomical terms highlighted in the article will trigger a pop-up panel featuring a high-resolution image from the Collection corresponding to that term. A short definition of the term will be furnished, and in some instances additional images and a video lecture will be made available.
