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). To accompany Baars & Gage - Chapter 5
