Summary

Join Mehak Chandanani, a third-year medical student from the University of Aberdeen, for a detailed session on Neuroanatomy focusing on the anatomy of the Skull, Brain, and Spine. This on-demand teaching session would help medical professionals improve their knowledge about various areas including the structure and coverings of the brain, lobes of the brain, the function, and anatomy of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem, blood supply to the brain, cranial nerves, and the spinal cord. Participants will also get the opportunity to explore the cross-sectional anatomy of the brain and understand the cranial nerves in detail. The session would be beneficial for those interested in neurology, paediatrics, and academic medicine.

Learning objectives

1. Understand the gross anatomical structures of the brain including major lobes and their functions. 2. Identify structures in the skull relevant to neuroanatomy including bony landmarks and foramina. 3. Understand the components and key functions of the spinal cord, including major ascending and descending tracts. 4. Understand cranial nerve anatomy and be able to identify the nerves and their functions. 5. Gain knowledge of brain vasculature and the important roles in maintaining brain health.
