Neuroanatomy can be a tricky subject. We will aim to tease the key structures and areas out of complexity and into some clarity.

Starting with the cortex we will explore what happens where and how these areas connect. This will include motor, sensory, visual, auditory and other areas, as well as the important tracts and commissures.

The we will get into the basal ganglia and limbic system and touch on the endocrine importance of the hypothalamus and pituitary.

In the second part we will explore the brain stem and the cerebellum, enabling you to distinguish between the areas that house different cranial nuclei, tracts to and from the body and cortex and ensure you are familiar with the blood supply to all areas.

You will also get:

  • Workbook

    A workbook to print out before the online class and use during it as well as afterwards for review

  • Handouts

    Print the slides we will refer to and annotate during the teaching time or access them afterwards to remind you what we learned

  • Recording

    You will get the zoom link to join the online class plus access to the recording of your class which students find excellent for review

What we will cover:

  • The names and locations of areas in the cerebri

    Including the lobes, sulci, gyri, fissures and other landmarks

  • What key processes happen...

    ...and where. ie the main motor and sensory cortices, how the 'homunculi' line up, the importance of the pre-frontal cortex, and why we need our other association areas

  • The connecting parts...

    What are the white matter tracts, how do they run and connect the different parts of the brain - the difference between the fasiculi and corpus collosum, corona radiata and the commissures...

  • The various structures of the basal ganglia and limbic system

    Learn how these link together and, with the help of some playdoh and lots of diagrams, get your head around how the parts sit in relation to each other...

  • We will touch on the hypothalamus..

    and the hormonal and physical connection to the pituitary gland.

  • The we will explore the 3 key areas of the brainstem..

    Why the back of the midbrain is hilly, why the pons has a huge 'belly' and what olives have to do with the medulla! We will learn about locations of the cranial nerve nuclei and the tracts that run up and down between the spinal cord and the brain higher up

  • Pulling it all together....

    we will spend some time on reviewing all this and labelling cross sections of the brain so that we build more of a 3-d picture for our hands when we treat. If there is time we may even tune in with our hands to explore the feel of a few different areas!

"Thank you for the neuroanatomy. It was really helpful. I personally think there is so much amazing information to learn and we just need to take time to go over it all. 
The printouts were great and you make it much easier to understand and more fun than plowing through textbooks. Love to do the peripheral nerves too."
