This 28-minute video helps students visualize the complex structure of the human nervous system by giving them a look at the "real thing"—the regions of the brain and cranial nerves on a dissected cadaver. Assisted by superbly detailed illustrations and figures, the video links nervous system structures and functions. The courses of the cranial nerves through the skull are also demonstrated to help students understand the complicated nerve pathways to and from the brain.
