The Visual Pathway (From Retina to Occipital Lobe)
Deep dives into neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and ependymal cells, including their clinical relevance in tumors and demyelinating diseases. 2. The Spinal Cord and Tracts
: Functional classification including the Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). dr najeeb neuroanatomy notes
Now, meet , a 55-year-old painter. One morning, he wakes up and cannot move his right arm. He can understand speech, but when he tries to say "brush," nothing comes out. You, the student, are called to his bedside.
This style—combining anatomy, flow, and clinical correlation—is the hallmark of the best notes. The Visual Pathway (From Retina to Occipital Lobe)
Mapping pain and temperature sensory inputs, highlighting exactly where decussation (crossing over) occurs.
Dr. Najeeb spends hours on a single tract (like the Spinothalamic or Corticospinal tract). His notes reflect this by using flow charts and symbols. Look for notes that include: Now, meet , a 55-year-old painter
"For the love of neurology, remember: Dorsal Column crosses HIGH (Medulla), Spinothalamic crosses LOW (Spinal cord)."
