MODULE 1 - SUGGESTED READING
Digital:
1) Neuroscience Online: an electronic textbook for the neurosciences. This is a free educational resource provided by the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. It is really superb and we urge you to make use of it. The online version works fine on computers, but since visualization of the figures requires a flash player, they are absent when the material is viewed using an Ipad.
Section 2, Chapter 1: Overview of the Nervous System.
1.1 The Central Nervous System
1.2 The Cerebral Hemisphere
1.3 The Diencephalon
2) The Digital Anatomist. This is an excellent program developed by the Dept. Biological Structure, University of Washington, Seattle. It contains a huge library of views of the brain. We will refer to specific figures in many of our modules, including this one.
3) Charlie Rose & Eric Kandel: The Brain Series. Working in collaboration with Eric Kandel, Charlie Rose has produced a series of 13 hour long group discussions about brain function. They appeared at monthly intervals, beginning in late 2009 and ending in early 2011. Kandel leads the discussions and most episodes have 4-6 additional participants. Many of the programs contain sections that are directly relevant to material in the Pixelated Brain and so we will provide the appropriate links at the end of many modules.

Additional Digital Sources of Information for Module 1
Print:
1) Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases by Hal Blumenfeld. Because this book is organized around clinical cases, it does not have a single chapter on the gross anatomy of the brain.
----- The skull, the meninges and meningeal spaces, the ventricles and cerebrospinal fluid are covered on pages 122-133.
----- The surface anatomy of the cerebral hemispheres is covered on pages 24-29.
----- The internal anatomy of the hemispheres is dealt with on pages 690-698.
2) Clinical Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience by M. J. Turlough Fitzgerald, Gregory Gruener and Estomih Mtui. Fifth Edition.
----- There is no coverage of the skull. The meninges, venous sinuses and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are thoroughly covered in Chapter 4 on pages 43-52.
----- The development of the cerebral hemispheres is described on pages 4-5 of Chapter 1.
----- The surface anatomy and internal anatomy of the cerebral hemispheres are presented on pages 7-22 of Chapter 2)
3) Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications by Duane E. Haines. Third Edition. The coverage of the topics taken up in Module 1 is lengthy and detailed, but the diagrams are excellent. Don't start by trying to read all these chapters, but keep them in mind as a place to go for more information.
----- Chapter 1 is a good, general introduction to the material covered in the Pixelated Brain.
----- Chapter 5 is an excellent, but detailed, summary of brain development. We barely touch on this issue in Module 1, but you should be aware of the source.
----- Chapter 6 covers the ventricles, choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid.
----- Chapter 7 covers the meninges.
----- Chapter 16 covers the cerebral hemispheres (telencephalon).
5) Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Fourth Edition by Keith L. Moore and Arthur F. Dalley. The sections on the skull (pages 832-850) and the meninges (pages 875-887) are excellent. The first part of the section on the brain (pages 887- 893) is also relevant to material covered in this module. Glance through these sections and focus on the topics that are taken up in this module.
