TEACHING POINTS

1. Identify sulcal landmarks and compare the same across hemispheres to localize functional gyral anatomy of primary sensori-motor, pre-motor, supplementary motor, and secondary somato-sensory systems. 2. Localize functional deficits including basic contralateral weakness and sensory dysfunctions as well as higher order dysfunctions such as apraxia, mutism, acquired stuttering, alien hand syndrome, impaired discriminative sensations, and tactile agnosia.

TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE

An interactive quiz and discussion format is used to teach localization of sensori-motor functional anatomy. Multiple questions provide choices for the location functional brain substrates and associated deficits, followed by discussions of relevant brain functions and dysfunctions. Cadaver brain images and overlaid illustrations foster a 3-demensional understanding of cortical functional anatomy and deficit localization. Correlative normal brain MRI promotes a 2-D understanding of sensori-motor functional brain anatomy. Imaging of selected brain lesions illustrates applications in clinical practice.
