CNS/Bi 157: sheep brains!

[fleaplus]

I just signed up for John Allman's comparative neuroanatomy course next term, the one where the students get to dissect a sheep's brain. w00t! It'll be nice to finally solidify my neuroanatomy knowledge. I haven't dissected anything since middle school, and have never dissected a brain.

Here's the description:

Rock on!
I love neuroanatomy. I'm in the process of TA'ing for it for the second time now.

If you ever want any tips for good websites or whatever to help with visualizing structures, pathways, etc. let me know. I'm a repository for neuroanatomy stuff!

Cool! I might take you up on that offer. Any good places to start?

Thanks!

By the way, have you by chance ever worked with a double-cone TMS coil?
