title: NERVTRACK--a neuroanatomical data bank.
abstract: To provide the neurologist with a detailed and easily accessible neuroanatomical reference, we have developed a data bank including all relevant efferent and many afferent neuroanatomical pathways. NERVTRACK contains 4000 anatomical data items arranged in a tree-like manner reflecting structural and functional relationships. The program is able to address problems like the following: (1) What is the spinal, radicular, and peripheral innervation of a given muscle? (2) Which muscles are affected by a lesion of a given peripheral nerve, a root, or a segment of the spinal cord? (3) For a given muscle, what are synergists and antagonists, and which clinical test is applicable to evaluate its strength? NERVTRACK runs on IBM-compatible microcomputers, even on lap tops. It is a fast and comfortable reference for clinical practice and serves as a readily accessible teaching aid.
