All these videos have been the best classes of neuroanatomy I have ever had! Thanks!

[@britthuayamave9187]

Thanks to Dr. Krebs and UBC Medicine for this videos. Both of them present the material with ease and clarity, which makes it incredibly helpful and insightful. "Understanding cranial nerve function is an important diagnostic tool", a senteces that perfectly summarizes the importance of knowing and understand the midbrain/brainstem to apply the knowledge in the practice with the specific symptomology they present. All I can say is that this is an amazing content that helped me learn a lot more in this process of being a Med student. This was the best way to explain the brainstem, making it look so simple that I questioned why did it took me so long to understand it.

[@nikolauspapadopoulos6973]

[@jossgutierrez7096]

It is very impressive how they can explain in a clear and precise way such an important topic, covering the most relevant aspects so that we as students can understand it. Thank you very much for this information.

Bless you, this is a work of art and extremely helpful for my upcoming neuroanatomy exam in med school!

[@genesisgavilanes4735]

The fact that it is a very realistic video makes it much more didactic and informative for us to study the brain. I liked it a lot.

[@irema.5875]

i wish i had teachers like that... one video and i found more than i want. You just saved my med school life

[@JorgeGellibertR1]

This video that tells us about the brainstem made it clear to me many parts of what constitutes it. It is a very good video for the practical part of the subject, since it helps us to guide us to identify the parts. Above all, I love that they not only explain the parts of the practical matter to us but also do it in a theoretical way, addressing more information than what is explained.

[@adorednloved1820]

This video is just amazing. So glad to have stumbled upon it! Just made my day really, I was kind of in a mental rut unable to watch my lecture videos and this video helped me get back at it :)

I have come here in comments section just to see how much appreciation is getting ! Excellent job. So much motivated to create something just like special.

[@danielavillon3554]

This video is very interactive, the explanation of each part that makes up the brainstem is so explicit and easy to understand. This video serves to reinforce what was seen in class, especially the part that helped me the most was when I explained how the nerves of each nucleus emerge, I liked the video.

[@karendayanaragutierrezlind3111]

I find this video very nice as it explains in a clear way. I like the level of professionalism with which you express yourself because I can understand what I have been studying about this subject. Excellent video 🤩

[@andreaescudero8381]

I liked the way they explained the structures found in the brainstem, the drawings, and the teaching method seemed interesting. I like that things are explained in a simple way.✨

[@marcelafuentes4160]

This video explain fantastic the overview of the brainstem, she talks the location of the twelve cranial nerves with their functions, all de information she said is very important to learn.

[@giulianaortega9143]

It is a very instructive and easy to understand video. Their explanations and the organs presented their good pedagogical material for the study of the brainstem. I really liked the way they moved the camera to show the elements of the brainstem.

[@eliasramirez9258]

The brainstem (brain stem) is the distal part of the brain that is made up of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. Each of the three components has its own unique structure and function. Together, they help to regulate breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and several other important functions. All of these brainstem functions are enabled because of its unique anatomy; since the brainstem houses cranial nerve nuclei and is a passageway for many important neural pathways. The brainstem begins at the level of the cerebral peduncles (anteriorly) and the corpora quadrigemina or quadrigeminal plate (posteriorly) or tectal plate. It continues along a slight posteroinferior course until it ends at the decussation of the pyramids (at the level of the foramen magnum of the skull). The brainstem is widest at its proximal end and becomes narrower toward the distal end. There are three parts of the brainstem: The medulla oblongata is the narrowest and most distal part The pons lies anteriorly and in the middle segment of the brainstem and the midbrain is the widest and most superior segment.

[@MohamedIbrahim-cy3wu]

the quality of this video is unbelievable, Thank you so much!

[@sundarrajan9886]

Madam , you, impart understanding of the subject very well. You articulate it superbly. Thank God you don't mumble it to yourself! May GOD BLESS you Ma'am.

[@elianaldairmendietaburbano4165]

A very informative video in which the anatomy of the spinal cord is explained to us with various methods, either by images or by real samples, with this type of tool the study of these topics is greatly facilitated since there is an audiovisual interaction that greatly benefits to the student

The following audiovisual is presented in a didactic way with the necessary elements for a better understanding, the explanation of the decussations and distribution of the cranial nerves in the human body, a very understandable content.

[@rashaalnujaidi7668]

The way the video is perfectly filmed and the content perfectly explained is mesmerizing masha'allah

[@georgerodriguez8782]

The video is of great quality for 8 years old! The brainstem is complex, from which the 11 cranial nerves apparently originate. Do not forget that the substantia nigra is found in the mesencephalon and that the colliculi are anterior and the peduncles posterior. The nerves that are apparently born in areas such as the mesencephalon, these really are born in nuclei of that area (III and IV). Personally, the most complicated thing about the brainstem is the pathways. Good video.

[@gracerobertson8772]

Watching this after being diagnosed with Craniocervical Instability as well as ME/CFS. Thank you for posting.

Excellent video, I perfectly understood the brainstem, especially that it transmits signals between the brain and the spinal cord and handles basic involuntary functions. The brainstem connects the spinal cord to the higher thought centers of the brain. Consists of three structures: the medulla oblongata, the pons, and the midbrain

the video shows us how the brainstem connects the spinal cord with the higher thought centers of the brain. It consists of three structures: the medulla oblongata, the pons, and the midbrain. The medulla oblongata is continuous with the spinal cord and connects superiorly with the pons. it's an excellent video.

[@dephena5536]

Excellent video. The learning of the brain and the brainstem is important, the ventricular system of the brain as seen and the content that passes through those areas is important.
