Neuroanatomy Tutorial

These tutorials will present several brain images and help you identify the major brain structures by name and learn about their functions through interactive multiple choice questions. It is assumed that students will have already begun to study the brain somewhat prior to using this tutorial.

What's in the tutorials?

		Basic Anatomy Using Sheep Brain Specimen. This allows you to test your hand at identifying 30 major brain structures viewed in midsaggital section of sheep brain.

		Neurophysiology Tutorial. You will be given 4-5 multiple-choice questions covering the functions and disorders associated with each of the major brain structures seen in Part I. The questions are rated as "easy" (), "moderate" (), or "challenging" () according to my expectations for students in BIO 201.

		Parasaggital sections. Three different views of "hard-to-get-to" brain areas also with structure and function tutorials.

		Human Brain Models. Two models of human brain paired with matching MRI image of mid-saggital head with structure and function tutorials.
