Human Anatomic Variation

You've all heard of Gray's Anatomy?

Well what about an atlas of deviant anatomy -- anatomy that is out of the norm?

Here is an online book that gives variations on normal anatomy -- Illustrated Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation

Look up a normal anotomical body part, and it will describe the variations that can occur.

There is also a wonderful section on the History of Sectional Anatomy
and some wonderful illustrations such as this one showing deviations of fingers and thumbs. There are may historical references and pictures to enjoy.

National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

In accordance with a Congressional mandate the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was established to provide information realted to PTSD in veterans. The center and its website also covers information about active duty military, nonmilitary PTSD syndromes such as those related to accidents, natural disasters, terrorism, and the September 11 attacks.

Recent additions include two guides on Iraq and also a link to the book Disaster Mental health services: A guide book for clinicians and administrators, and a Psychological First Aid Manual.

The site also contains fact sheets for use in clinical situations, research reports, handbooks, and literature on PTSD. The Center has created its own index to literature in the PILOTS database which contains over 28,000 references on the subject.

Mainly because there is so much on the site it can be a little tricky to navigate, but is definitely worth the effort.

Inside the brain: interactive tour

Provided by the Alzheimer's Association Inside the Brain: An Interactive Tour contains interactive slides and informative text about how the brain works. The final slides show the brain changes resulting from Alzheimer's disease.

Rolling over the words in the text highlights sections of the image. It's quite a fun and informative show.
