The appreciation of its role in memory-processing, its association when damaged with complex partial seizures, the refinement of surgical techniques for intractable epilepsy, and the introduction of more powerful imaging modalities will all ensure the continuing importance of the hippocampus in clinical neuroscience.
Here is a neural landscape, alluring in its intricacy and beauty, not only to the anatomist on histological section, but also to the modern neuroradiologist or neurologist for whom the latest imaging techniques reveal ever more exquisite detail.
The complexity of this phylogenetically ancient structure, at both the gross and cellular level, has encouraged study by generations of anatomists. Content includes videos, photographs, and other content, including anatomical images and videos showing cadaver dissection, that some people may find offensive, disturbing or inappropriate.The hippocampus has been a source of fascination from the very origins of neuroscience as a modern discipline. This course will take you inside the anatomy laboratories where students entering medicine, dental medicine, and other health professions study anatomy by performing anatomical dissections.
In the virtual operating room, students observe narrated videos of actual surgical procedures.Ĭlinical content for each case is developed in close collaboration with leading orthopedic surgeons and radiologists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The anatomy learning sessions include observing actual dissections in the Harvard Medical School anatomy laboratories revealing and explaining the human anatomy relevant for each clinical case.Īfter completing the case learning sessions, students review pertinent radiology images, commit to a tentative diagnosis from a list of differential diagnoses, and accompany the patient to a virtual operating room to observe the surgical treatment. Following the patient encounter, students complete the interactive gross anatomy, histology and radiology learning sessions essential for understanding the case. Human Anatomy: Musculoskeletal Cases invites students to join medical and basic science faculty at Harvard Medical School (HMS) to learn about musculoskeletal injuries commonly seen in clinical practice.įor each case, students visit the HMS Clinical Skills Center to observe the initial patient encounter and physical examination by an orthopedic surgeon.
