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.
QuickTime™ and a
YUV420 codec decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
(Note that the right-side movie handles
make it easier to stop and start).

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.

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
