Any more tips for us 2nd years on how to do well in neuro? Dr. Cohen seems very nice, and very enthusiatic to teach and have you learn. Thanks a lot guys!
The pathways are the main difference between neuro and other modules. It's conceptually different, will be tested differently, and so it makes sense that you should probably study a little differently for it than the stuff you normally cram your brain with.
Dr Cohan provides these different methods for you. The slides. Use them - whether that means going to the labs during normal lab time or on your own, go to the labs. This is the one exception the home school people should make in their school avoidance.
The main idea is that you want to integrate the cross sectional slides with the 3D brains in the brain museum. If you can picture in your mind the way each slide fits into the brain, you've got it made. If not, practice lesion localization with some friends. Lesion localization is a very practical kind of skill, and practical skills get better with practice, not so much with repeated reading and rote memorization.
thanks a lot!
