Cranial Nerves: Neuroanatomy Video Lab - Brain Dissections | Suzanne S. Stensaas, PhD | The approach is to learn to associate the cranial nerves with their brainstem level and blood supply. Emphasis is given to the midbrain (3, 4), pons (5, 6, 7, 8), medulla (9, 10, 11, 12) and their most important functions. | Cranial Nerves; Brain; Dissection |

Optic Disc Drusen (Portuguese) | NANOS | Optic disc drusen are abnormal deposits of protein-like material in the optic disc - the front part of the optic nerve. | Optic Disc Drusen; Patient Brochure |

|
Pituitary Tumor (Portuguese) | NANOS | Pituitary tumors are benign (non-cancerous) overgrowth of cells that make up the pituitary gland (the master gland that regulates other glands in the body). | Pituitary Tumor; Patient Brochure |

|
Optic Neuritis (Portuguese) | NANOS | In the most common form of optic neuritis, the optic nerve has been attacked by the body's overactive immune system and results in decreased vision. | Optic Neuritis; Patient Brochure |

Transient Visual Loss (Portuguese) | NANOS | About transient visual loss. | Transient Visual Loss; Patient Brochure |
6 |
|
Photophobia (Portuguese) | NANOS | The symptoms of light sensitivity are: an uncomfortable sense of brightness, squinting, frequent blinking, and redness of the eye (especially if the eye is dry). Involuntary eye closure and excessive blinking is seen with blepharospasm. Individuals will tend to seclude themselves in darkness. | Photophobia; Patient Brochure |

|
Myasthenia Gravis (Portuguese) | NANOS | This is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system has damaged receptors on your muscles and can result in double vision or drooping lid. | Myesthenia Gravis; Patient Brochure |

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (Portuguese) | NANOS | About Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. | Progressive Supranuclear Palsy; Patient Brochure |

Optic Nerve Sheath Meningioma (Portuguese) | NANOS | About optic nerve sheath meningioma. | Optic Nerve Sheath Meningioma; Patient Brochure |

|
Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (Portuguese) | NANOS | Loss of blood supply to the optic nerve results in diminished visual acuity. | Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy; Patient Brochure |

|
Anisocoria (Portuguese) | NANOS | Pupil in the right eye and left eye are not the same size. | Anisocoria; Patient Brochure |
12 |
|
Blepharoespasm (Portuguese) | NANOS | Uncontrolled blinking, squeezing, and eyelid closure that occurs in both eyes without an apparent environmental cause. | Blepharospasm; Patient Brochure |
13 |
|
Dry Eye Syndrome (Portuguese) | NANOS | People with abnormalities of the tear film are diagnosed with "dry eyes", but some patients with "dry eyes" may not feel that their eyes are "dry". Itching, burning, a scratchy sensation, a sensation that there is sand or grit in the eye, or intermittent blurring of the vision can all be symptoms of... | Dry Eye Syndrome; Patient Brochure |
14 |
|
Homonymous Hemianopia (Portuguese) | NANOS | This refers to an absence of vision towards one side of the visual world in each eye. The damage that caused this problem is in the brain and not in the eyes. | Homonymous Hemianopia; Patient Brochure |
15 |
|
Microvascular Nerve Palsy (Portuguese) | NANOS | Microvascular cranial nerve palsy is one of the most common causes of double vision in the older poulation. They are often referred to as "diabetic" palsies. They will resolve without leaving any double vision. | Microvascular Nerve Palsy; Patient Brochure |
16 |
|
Migraine Enxaqueca (Portuguese) | NANOS | Headache on one or both sides of the brain, and may include symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light. | Migraine; Patient Brochure |

Meniere Disease (Portuguese) | NANOS | About Meniere disease. | Meniere Disease; Patient Brochure |
18 |
|
Hemifacial Spasm (Portuguese) | NANOS | Involuntary contractions, called "spasms," of the muscles on one side of the face. The affected side of the face seems to "scrunch up" while the other side of the face remains normal. | Hemifacial Spasm; Patient Brochure |

Control of the Eye Movements: Neuroanatomy Video Lab - Brain Dissections | Suzanne S. Stensaas, PhD | Disturbances in eye movements can provide important clues for localization of neurological damage. The role of the frontal eye fields in horizontal gaze is stressed. The need to coordinate cranial nerves on both sides of the brain stem introduces the medial longitudinal fasciculus and its role in co... | Medial Longitudinal Fasciculus; Third Cranial Nerve; Sixth Cranial Nerve; Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia; Nystagmus; Brain; Dissection |

Comparison of the Motor Systems: Neuroanatomy Video Lab - Brain Dissections | Suzanne S. Stensaas, PhD | A comparison of the three major motor systems focuses on categorizing motor problems as corticospinal tract, cerebellar, or basal ganglia. It begins with 12 minutes of gross anatomical structures and pathway review followed by clinical video clips demonstrating clinical features of disease of each o... | Corticospinal Tract; Cerebellar; Basal Ganglia; Motor Systems; Brain; Dissection |
22 |
|
Basal Ganglia: Neuroanatomy Video Lab - Brain Dissections | Suzanne S. Stensaas, PhD | Structures involved in involuntary movements are shown on models, in animations, and on gross coronal and axial sections. Diagrams show the cortex-to-cortex loop and the nigrostriatal pathway. The direct and indirect pathways are shown. The direct pathway facilitates movement while the indirect path... | Basal Ganglia; Involuntary Movements; Brain; Dissection |

|
Cortical Localization: Neuroanatomy Video Lab - Brain Dissections | Suzanne S. Stensaas, PhD | The lobes of the brain are defined together with their major functions. The visual field representation in the occipital lobe is explained with a diagram. Speech areas and the major types of aphasia are discussed in the dominant hemisphere and parietal lesions of neglect and spatial orientation are ... | Cortical Localization; Brain; Dissections |

|
Introduction: Neuroanatomy Video Lab - Brain Dissections | Suzanne S. Stensaas, PhD | The regions and lobes of the brain are identified along with some of the nerves and vessels. The basic functions of the cortex of each lobe are introduced along with principal sulci and gyri. The importance of the left hemisphere for language and the temporal lobe in memory are mentioned along with ... | Brain; Dissections |

|
Brain Stem & Reflexes: Neuroanatomy Video Lab - Brain Dissections | Suzanne S. Stensaas, PhD | The cranial nerves are reviewed again on a specimen with vessels. Next, landmarks on gross brain stem sections are shown. Stressed are the three reflexes associated with each of the three levels: pupillary, corneal and gag reflexes and their associated cranial nerves. Finally cross sections of myeli... | Brain Stem; Reflexes |
