The overall aim is to familiarise yourself with the basic structures of the brain and the localisation of function to specific named structures or regions. The study complements and adds to the lecture material from the first three lectures. There is an emphasis on appreciating the views of structures from the brain surface and in the slice views as would be presented in MRI or CT scans.

Please work through the nearpod and make note of any queries or questions for the face to face discussion session and send them to [email protected]. That discussion will also be guided by responses to the tasks/quizzes set in the nearpod. As a reminder this guided study is compulsory and does contribute to evaluations in exams.
