THE aNETomy® PROJECT

From anatomical representation to the network.

aNETomy® represents anatomy as a system of nodes and connections: anatomical structures become elements of a network, while anatomical and functional relationships become observable and analysable pathways.

Anatomy

Traditional anatomical knowledge remains the foundation of the model.

Network Science

Nodes, connections and pathways make it possible to observe the body as a complex system.

Clinical practice and technology

The model provides a basis for research, training and the development of digital tools.

WHY A NETWORK?

Do not replace traditional anatomy. Extend the way we understand it.

A segmental approach describes individual structures with great precision. A network perspective adds a second question: how are their relationships organised?

This makes it possible to explore configurations, interdependencies and pathways that may contribute to function and movement.
