Background Neurology is introduced into the University of Cape Town MBChB programme in the 3rd year. Each year the Head of the Neurology Department Prof Roland Eastman did a demonstration as part of a whole class lecture and in addition conducted a “Master Class” for the clinicians who would be providing teaching sessions to the students. Just before his retirement this video was produced in an attempt to capture his unique style of teaching. It is intended for use by both students and teachers. Resource contents This video depicts the examination of the nervous system through testing of the: - Motor System - Sensations - Cerebellum - Cranial Nerves.

Introduction and Motor Testing Sensory Testing Cerebella Testing Cranial Nerves Testing http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=441434 Includes diagrams/images of the following and quizzes to enhance learning:Content: 2-D and 3-D views of the brain from cadaver sections, MRI scans, and computer reconstructions. Author: John W. Sundsten Content: Neuroanatomy Interactive Syllabus. This syllabus uses the images in the Neuroanatomy Atlas above, and many others. It is organized into functional chapters suitable as a laboratory guide, with an instructive caption accompanying each image. It contains 3-D computer graphic reconstructions of brain material; MRI scans; tissue sections, some enhanced with pathways; gross brain specimens and dissections; and summary drawings. Chapters include Topography and Development, Vessels and Ventricles, Spinal Cord, Brainstem and Cranial Nerves, Sensory and Motor Systems, Cerebellum and Basal Ganglia, Eye Movements, Hypothalamus and Limbic System, Cortical Connections, and Forebrain and MRI Scan Serial Sections. Authors: John W. Sundsten and Kathleen A. Mulligan Content: 3-D views of thoracic organs reconstructed from 1 mm cryosections of a cadaver specimen provided by Wolfgang Rauschning. Authors: David M. Conley and Cornelius Rosse http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=431427 ABOUT USThe Endowment for Human Development (EHD) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving health science education and public health. EHD equips educators, clinicians, and governments to help everyone appreciate, apply, and communicate the science of health and human development. We are committed to neutrality regarding all controversial bioethical issues. Our board of directors, board of advisors, staff, and volunteers include accomplished educators, researchers, authors, programmers, and clinicians from a variety of scientific and business disciplines who share the common goal of improving lifelong health through prenatal development-based education.Joining Together to Shape the FutureApplying the science of human prenatal development is increasingly recognized as an indispensable and unique way to improve children's health, enhance their development, and prevent certain birth defects and chronic diseases. We now have an unprecedented opportunity to join with teachers to enhance students’ education, health, and lives by providing them with the foundation for making wise health decisions for themselves, their children, and their communities. We invite all who share our vision to join us.
