Objective:

1. Given clinical information and results of a neurological examination, correctly localize lesions to one of several regions of the nervous system.
2. Correlate the location of neurology lesions with skeletal anatomy.
3. Review and apply neuroanatomical relationships to the diagnosis of neurological disorders.

Laboratory Description: Utilizing the college’s web site, students are provided history, physical examination findings, and the results of a complete neurological examination. Students will apply appropriate rules of neuroanatomy and physiology to correctly localize the lesion to one of several areas in the nervous system. Students are provided immediate feedback as to the correctness of their choices. Once the lesion has been correctly localized, students will find the set of radiographs that best correlate with the neuroanatomical location of the lesion. Radiographs are provided and are organized by anatomical locations commonly examined by radiography. Only one set of radiographs correlates to a clinical case. There are 10 clinical cases to study. Expert responses are provided to enhance the student’s learning experience and understanding of the condition presented.

Help: Should you have problems with the Web or need special help in using the programs, please contact Dr. Lorenz (mlorenz@okstate.edu) or Betty Handlin (handlin@okstate.edu).

We hope you have fun and will learn in this alternate instructional format.
