About Us
Our Inspiration
KISS
“Keep it simple, stupid” is anything but easy. Since the first edition of Neuroanatomy – Draw it to Know it, published by Oxford University Press in 2009, we've worked very hard to keep things simple.
A man with two watches never knows the time.
If you’ve read one book on any subject, you’re an expert. Once you’ve read two, you suddenly know very little. The more you learn, the more inconsistencies, variations, and false truisms you’ll find. We present the most consistent scientific interpretations and highlight inconsistencies, so you can trust what you learn.
It's easy to lose the forest through the trees.
The inconsistencies in science literature will drive any educator to lose focus on the throughline. The challenge does not lay in creating great art or extensive writing but in balancing comprehensive (and accurate) with simple.
Get it on its feet.
As educators, we fully understand how invaluable audience feedback is. Our direct contact with professors and students allows us to perennially improve upon our work.
Success Stories
Over the past several years, 100+ institutions and departments have incorporated our site into their educational curricula. Here is what some of our audience has to say:
Professors
“Draw it to Know it is a great learning tool. It combines the type of hands-on, anatomic drawing my anatomy teachers recommended in medical school with superb tutorials, challenging examination questions, and MRI imaging localization.”
“Its interactive approach stimulates memory consolidation. I recommend it with great enthusiasm.”
Students
“Draw it to know it saved me for Neuroanatomy. Its videos that walk you through basic sketches of the structures with labels and highlights of function and clinically relevant details.”
“The time you save is worth every penny.”
