1. Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Simple

'Clinical Neuroanatomy for final year medical students' The University of Western Ontario Fourth year medical students Clinical Neuroanatomy There are six three-hour sessions. The form of the classes varies, but a typical class begins with a neuroanatomical presentation by J. A. Kiernan, and this is followed by a clinical presentation from a member of the Department of Clinical Neurological Sciences, showing the usefulness of that anatomical knowledge in diagnosing disorders of the nervous system. This web page carries a variety of files that students can download for revision or further study. Each executable slide show is a free-standing.exe file.

When you click on its link your web browser should ask if you want to run the program at once or download it. If you choose the latter option, save the file to an appropriate folder (directory) (e.g. To watch the slide show on another occasion (in Windows 95 or later), click on Start, then on Run, and enter the path and file name: e.g. C: TEMP bldvess.exe You can stop a slide show at any time by pressing the Esc key or the Enter key.

Press the Spacebar or do a left mouse click to see the next slide. A right mouse click will show you the previous slide. The slide shows are quite large files (two of them are over 4 megabytes), intended for viewing on screen. They will take a long time to download if you are using a dial-up connection. PowerPoint files are even larger. The executable slide shows won't run on Mackintosh computers.

To run a PowerPoint presentation you need either Microsoft PowerPoint (part of Microsoft Office) or the free PowerPoint Viewer, which can be. Video clips are in a variety of file formats:.avi,.mp4,.wmv etc. Most of the PDF files are printable shorter versions of visual aids (slide shows) used in some of the lectures. You need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to read or print these files. A colour printer (eg inkjet) is desirable.

The chronological sequence of sessions may not be the same as that shown below. Every year it is neccessary to adjust the dates to accommodate three or more busy clinicians. The content of this course also varies, and not all the subjects listed below are covered in any one year.
