Then a list of relevant pages will appear. Click ‘Show details’ of the most relevant page and a link to the most relevant page appears, click that and scroll down to locate the figure.

  • Dorsal column medial lemniscal pathway and Trigeminal lemniscal pathway= figure 9.6
  •  Anterolateral pathway/Spinothalamic tract and Trigeminal thalamic pathway = figure 10.3
  •  (Lateral and anterior) corticospinal tract. Pyramidal tracts = figure 17.9
  •  Retina-geniculate-striate cortex pathway = figure 12.8
  •  Pupillary light reflex = figure 12.3

  • Human brain  by Anatomie – Amsterdam.
  • Glossary– Neuroscience 2th edition, Sinauer. Direct link to the online glossary of the textbook.
  • UBC Neuroanatomy. A very good site by the University of British Columbia.
  • BrainFacts.org a very rich site. It is a public information initiative of The Kavli Foundation, the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, and the Society for Neuroscience. Powered by the global neuroscience community and overseen by an editorial board of leading neuroscientists from around the world. It has a very good 3D Brain, interactive presentations of the Neuroscience Core Concepts and the  BrainFacts Book.
  • Neuroscience Online,  Open-Access Neuroscience Electronic Textbook
  • Neuroanatomy Online, Open-Access Neuroanatomy Electronic Textbook
  •  Anatomy & Physiology – OpenStax college, Unit 3: Regulation, Integration and Control is especially relevant.
  • Open Neuroscience Initiative Austin Lim, DePaul University. A free Neuroscience textbook under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.
  • 3-D Brain App by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. A very useful 3D model of the brain. It has descriptions of various brain structures, associated functions, associated cognitive disorders, etc. It is useful for the preparation of Quizzes and especially relevant for the Comprehensive Final Exam. It was accessible with the internet browser, but that site used  Flash, it does not work anymore. You have to download the App. You can get the free 3D Brain app from Google play and Windows Phone and the App Store from Apple.
  • Handwritten Tutorials. Videos can be accessed through the YouTube Channel Handwritten Tutorials.
  • Neuroscientifically Challenged: Clarifying series of short videos (2 minutes each) which will help you learn the basics of neuroscience, in short, easy-to-understand snippets!
