About NeuroLab
NeuroLab was created by RHSC for the third edition of Neurophysiology, and originally consisted of just the interactive exhibits. It was written in Visual Basic, a convenient language for developing interactive programs of this kind, but a nuisance for Mac users. For this, fourth, edition, the interactive exhibits were recreated in Java, allowing wider use, including web deployment. The arduous work of reprogramming was mostly undertaken by Sanjay Manohar, with help from Robin Marlow and Dora Wood (all, at the time of writing, clinical medical students, in London and Cambridge).
In addition, the extra space available on the CD-ROM means that it has been possible to add new components to NeuroLab, as well as making the entire text available in electronic form.
The colour illustrations and the basic sound demonstrations were created by RHSC, and the examples of speech disorders were supplied courtesy of Professor Ian Wilkinson of Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge. The neurological videos were made by Dr Dunecan Massey and Dr Chris Allen, Clinical Dean of Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, with assistance from Dr Patrick Byrne. The material for NeuroScan and NeuroSlice was put together by Alice Miller of Edinburgh University Medical School, and the Java programs were written by Sanjay Manohar and Robin Marlow. The NeuroFlicks were designed and drawn by Dora Wood. NeuroSpin was created by RHSC with much assistance from Ruairidh Martin, Atanu Pal and Atman Desai (photography and image creation) and Oliver Sanders (programming); all of these are currently clinical or pre-clinical students, in Cambridge, Oxford or London. The histological material was taken, with permission, from xxxxx, and the MRI scans were kindly supplied by xxxxx. Much of the development of this material was supported by an award to RHSC from the Institute for Learning and Teaching.
