About NeuroMap
An independent educational project making brain anatomy easier to explore.
Our Mission
NeuroMap helps students and curious readers explore the major structures of the human brain, understand their commonly described functions, and follow connections between regions, conditions, and neuroscience terms. The interactive atlas is paired with longer reference articles so readers can choose how much detail they need.
Who Makes This
Stuart Mathieson is an independent web developer in Scotland with an interest in all things science. Stuart creates and maintains NeuroMap as an educational project. He is not a healthcare professional. No NeuroMap article has been reviewed by a clinician; the articles are educational reference material, not personal medical advice.

How We Research and Update Articles
Articles are written as educational summaries and link to further reading from organisations such as the U.S. National Institutes of Health, MedlinePlus, and relevant research publications. Source links are provided at the end of each article. Brain science is complex and changes over time, so readers should consult the linked material and qualified clinicians for individual health questions.
Each article displays its last updated date. Dates indicate when the page was last edited; they do not imply review by a clinician or guarantee that every linked source has been checked on that date. If a material correction is made, the page date will be updated and the change is listed in our corrections log. Read the full editorial policy for how articles are sourced and checked.
Educational Use
Condition pages provide general background, not diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or personal medical advice. Brain functions are distributed across interacting networks; a condition should not be reduced to a single brain region. If you have a health concern, speak with a qualified healthcare professional. In an emergency, contact local emergency services.
