List of Lectures: A. Lectures on brain mapping methods, and brain structure (extended to head and neck) and function: 1. Introduction to the brain and brain mapping methods. 2. Brain atlas – data, construction, and brain modeling. 3. Brain – gross anatomy (cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum, brainstem, white matter, deep nuclei, and ventricular system). 4. Cerebral cortex (lobes, gyri, sulci, and Brodmann’s areas). 5. White matter tracts (projections, commissures, associations, and posterior fossa tracts). 6. Intracranial arteries. 7. Intracranial veins and dural sinuses. 8. Head muscles and glands. 9. Cranial nerves (CN I-XII) and cranial nerve nuclei. 10. Skull and cervical spine. 11. Extracranial blood vessels (arteries and veins). 12. Sectional anatomy (axial, coronal, and sagittal). 13. Brain functions. 14. Functional systems (gustatory, olfactory, visual, auditory, limbic and motor). B. Lectures on neurological disorders correlated with brain damage locations in 3D: 15. Overview and definitions of most common neurological disorders. 16. Modeling of neurological disorders. 17. Regional anatomy – brainstem and cerebellar disorders. 18. Regional anatomy – deep nuclei disorders. 19. Regional anatomy – cerebral cortex disorders. 20. Cranial nerves – disorders of CN I-IV. 21. Cranial nerves – disorders of CN V-IX. 22. Cranial nerves – disorders of CN X-XII and multiple nerve disorders. 23. Blood vessels – brain ischemia. 24. Blood vessels – brain hemorrhage. 25. Blood vessels – brain aneurysms. C. Technology-business lectures: 26. Methods and tools for human body model building. 27. Construction of human body atlases – material, content, functionality, interaction, and user interface. 28. Development of surgical simulators. 29. Development of interventional radiology simulators. 30. Commercialization of scientific research results. |
