MODULE 3
OBJECTIVES
After you have completed this module you should be able to do the following:
-----1) Draw in, on a figure like our Figure 3-2, a schematic representation of the DC-ML pathway. It should include such details as where synapses occur and where the pathway crosses the midline. It should also show the somatotopic organization of the pathway.
-----2) Identify the DC-ML pathway on "our" slides (the ones shown in our atlas of brainstem sections.) You should also be able to identify structures we have pointed out in Modules 1 and 2.
-----3) Identify, on frontal and horizontal sections through the whole hemisphere, and on drawings, the course of this pathway as it passes through the internal capsule to reach the cerebral cortex.
-----4) Draw in the pathway on sections through the spinal cord and brain as well as on the other views used in this and earlier modules.
