The images on this site have been created to supplement your in-lab
experiences by providing clearly labeled, interactive images that can
be used before lab, as a review, and as a tool to aid you exam preparation.
Listed below is a brief review of the functions and capabilities of
this new media. Getting Started: Picking a Lab: In the center of the screen is pull down menu organizing the labs.
Click on the bar and select the lab you wish to review. You can move
between labs at anytime by choosing a new lab from this menu. Using the images: On the left side of the screen is a vertical menu bar containing all
the slides and movies for the lab. Movies are listed first and the slides
follow. The slides arrangement follows along with the directions and
descriptions in your laboratory manual/syllabus selections that you
download from the CourseWorks site. Choose a slide or movie by clicking
on the icon. Note: To view a complete list of the slides in each lab,
scroll through the menu using the scroll bar to the right of the icons. Image Navigation: Several features have been incorporated into the design. 1. First, the slides are labeled. This highlight feature identifies the boundaries of a structure without
indicating the structure’s name or what general function it serves.
This is an important self-testing method. To select the structure and learn its name, click once, and the name
will be highlighted in the list with an arrow. To turn off a label,
click directly on the structure or on its name. Multiple labels can be turned on and off. This may be helpful to you
as you follow along in the lab manual. At any time you can turn off
selected labels or display the completely labeled slide by clicking
on All Labels or Clear Labels. 2. To help you organize and integrate the many structures you will
learn, all the structures that are labeled have been grouped according
to their function and assigned a color. This color is used to highlight
the structure on the image. It is also the color of the arrow that appears
next to the structure’s name. By color-coding the function of labeled structures you will have the
opportunity to learn the spatial relationships required for an adequate
knowledge base of the regional anatomy. For example, by sequentially
clicking on the structures within a given part of the brain, or a particular
vascular territory, you can use this new media to reconstruct the deficits
that occur with damage to this region of the brain. To make yourself familiar with the colors and their significance, use
the Color Index that appears at the bottom of the image. Rolling over
the colored circle will highlight the color. Hold the mouse down to
see what group has been assigned that color. To facilitate reviewing
for the exam, the structures that are in the same group are listed next
to each other. For example all motor structures are grouped together,
all somatic sensation are together, all visual structures are listed
together. These groupings will help you organize the many structures
according to their function in the general systems.

•To view the movies and interactive slides you should install
Flash
Player
and
Quick
Time plug-in, which are free.
The names of the structures you are responsible for are listed along
the side of the slide. You can label the image by clicking on the name
of the structure you wish to view OR by exploring the slide with the
mouse. As you roll over the image, various structures will become highlighted
in yellow.
The newly
designed slides have been created to supplement your neuroanatomy syllabus,
laboratory sessions, and text by providing clearly labeled, interactive
images that can be used before lab, as a review, and as a tool to aid
you exam preparation. Listed below is
