To accompany Baars & Gage - Chapter 5 2 Brain - major surface landmarks. Source: National Library of Medicine. Teaching suggestion: During lectures, stop the movie to call attention to major surface landmarks, like: –Eyes and optic nerves –Hemispheres and vertical fissure –Major lobes –Brainstem and cerebellar hemispheres –The different perspectives and how to recognize them (Left, Right, Lateral, Medial, Superior, Inferior). –Suggest that students make rough drawings, coloring in major landmarks. –Some studnts may benefit from a spatial metahpor, such as a car (with the same perspectives). –Present the same movie as a quiz, with students to provide the names and locations of the major landmarks. (Note that the right-side movie handles make it easier to stop and start).

To accompany Baars & Gage - Chapter 5 3 Brain - coronal flight from front to back. Source: National Library of Medicine. Teaching suggestion: During lectures, stop the movie to call attention to major surface landmarks, like: –Eyes and optic nerves –Hemispheres and vertical fissure –Major lobes as they become visible, including the orbitofrontal view of the frontal lobe (just above the orbits of the eyes) –White and gray matter (in beige) –Brainstem and cerebellar hemispheres –Ventricles (fluid cavities) as landmarks. –The coronal section perspectives and how to recognize it –Suggest that students make rough drawings, coloring in major landmarks. –Some studnts may benefit from using a spatial metahpor, such as slicing a car coronally. –Present the same movie as a quiz, with students providing the names and locations of the major landmarks. (Note that the right-side movie handles make it easier to stop and start).

To accompany Baars & Gage - Chapter 5 4 Brain - sagittal flight from left to right. Source: National Library of Medicine. Teaching suggestion: During lectures, stop the movie to call attention to major surface landmarks, like: –Eyes and optic nerves –Hemispheres and vertical fissure –Major lobes as they become visible, including the orbitofrontal view of the frontal lobe (just above the orbits of the eyes) –White and gray matter (in beige) –Brainstem and cerebellar hemispheres –Thalami (large egg-shapes) on either side of the midline. –The corpus callosum (white matter bridge between the two hemispheres, looking like a curved loop from this perspective). –The sagittal section perspectives and how to recognize them (remember where the eyes are pointing!). –Suggest that students make rough drawings, coloring in major landmarks. –Some studnts may benefit from using a spatial metahpor, such as slicing a car coronally. –Present the same movie as a quiz, with students providing the names and locations of the major landmarks. (Note that the right-side movie handles make it easier to stop and start).
