Orbital eye infections
Learning goals Describe the clinical presentation and microbiology of common etiologies for blepharitis, hordeolum, conjunctivitis, and keratitis Describe the clinical findings and microbiologic origins of chorioretinitis and use clinical history and examination findings to differentiate microbiologic causes Compare and contrast periorbital and orbital cellulitis, including anatomic location, etiology, and potential complications Required pre-class materials Click […]
Meningitis and encephalitis
Learning goals Describe the epidemiology and risk factors for meningitis and list the primary pathogens that lead to meningitis, based on age groups Compare and contrast the clinical manifestations of encephalitis, acute bacterial meningitis, aseptic meningitis, and chronic meningitis and use cerebrospinal fluid findings to differentiate various microbial etiologies Describe the microbiologic features (classification, structures, […]

Neuroanatomy lab knowledge checks
Station 1. Cerebrum, sucli, and gyri Lobes of the cerebrum Interactive 1.1. Color and label the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes lobes on the medial and lateral surfaces of the cerebral hemispheres. Use Figures 10-5 and 10-6 in Clinical Neuroanatomy, 29e, by Stephen G. Waxman, for help in identification. (Tap to open; use your […]
Neuroanatomy lab introduction
Neuroanatomy provides the essential framework for understanding the principles of neurology. This lab is designed to help you build that foundation through hands-on exploration and clinical application. Key focus areas Topographic anatomy Ventricular system, cerebrum, diencephalon, brain stem, and cerebellum Three-dimensional relationships Ventricular system and its connections to cerebral and brain stem structures Clinical imaging […]
Station 4. Meninges and ventricles
Neuroanatomy lab navigation Identify the parts of the ventricular system on a mid-sagittal brain, coronal sections, and model. The formation of the ventricular system, as it relates to development, was discussed in the Neuroembryology session. Review the clinical significance of the flow and blockage of CSF. insert link to 1. development of the nervous system […]
Station 5: Blood supply and circulation
Neuroanatomy lab navigation Arterial blood supply Review from FMS 501 Vertebral arteries Supplying the brainstem and cerebellum Anterior and posterior spinal Posterior inferior cerebellar Basilar (unpaired)—multiple pontine branches also come directly off the basilar artery Anterior inferior cerebellar Superior cerebellar Posterior cerebral posterior communicating Internal carotid Supplying the midbrain, thalamus, hypothalamus, and cerebrum Middle cerebral […]
Station 2. Diencephalon
Neuroanatomy lab navigation The diencephalon is composed of the thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus. Thalamus The thalamus is key structure that relays information to the cortex associated with motor and sensory information. There are also thalamus nuclei that form the connections in the memory and emotion circuit from the hippocampal formation. This portion of the thalamus […]
