Day 68: Neurology – Watch Videos

Dr. Canby starts from the very very basics and builds it up to the level you need to know as a general practitioner. He also adds the clinical relevance to the parts which makes it very interesting!

Yes Informative, but to short at times and not many anatomical details in my opinion To improve: More visuals from cranial fossa And more details about the anatomy But I enjoyed the clinical info.

Dull lecture that is presented badly with no useful insights. As another reviewer pointed out, it isn't worth watching Craig's content, you are better off going to Youtube for better content.

I think that you are lacking a lot of information. Only the basics are seen. But the complex issues are not mentioned or not described at all. If I compare these anatomical videos with other subjects, I have to admit that the quality is way worse than average.

Not sure what the other reviewers mean by a one star review. This is a very straightforward lecture and easy to understand. The math makes intuitive sense if you sit and think about it for a second. I don't see how this was rated 1 star.

I love the lectures. The only question I ask is that at the end of the reading lectures the questions of them I don’t know what the answers are. Is there a link for them? Is there more questions of each topic?

It`s almost nothing in this lecture. We need some raports and traiects of the nerves.

No explica la anatomia de este nervio, solo estan consideraciones clinicas

Honestly, I really start to regret purchasing Lecturio. It feels like most of the professors don't know what they are talking about and are just reading q text that's in front of them. I went to youtube and searched for cerebellum and found free videos that are way better than this..

The doctor reads from the slides. Not good at explaining difficult concept.

I don't understand anything in this lecture. The math might be a way for memorizing the pathway but does not help me to understand how the pathway really works.

Not too explanative.. Your articles are more informative thaymn your videos

Content of the lectures were useful especially when breaking down the components of each nerve. However, much of the lectures consisted of reading from slides which is entirely pointless as i can do that myself. It would also have been handy to include clinical testing techniques for each nerve as these will be important tests for us as doctors

Breakdown and delivery of the information was much better than many other lectures in this part of the curriculum. However, the lecturer seemed confused and delivered information in a confusing way towards the end. I also noticed that one of the tables in the slides changes suddenly to read something different and this confuses things further. Overall a lecture capable of delivering useful information in a concise way.

Nucleus must be introduced and explain the complete course of the nerve .

The lecturer made the laminae look simple and memorable and definitely gotta be watched by peers since it gives a simple breaking down of presentation that makes it more easier to store it up.

the information was presented really well I found the information to be presented very well I wish the lecture had more detail but it was really good lecture.

Solo falta que también sea en español :`) para que la dinámica sirva para los países de habla hispana

I like how he explained about the lecture. He explained it very well and because of that I learned

first time I watched this, I didnt understand anything, now when I am watching it the second time I understood a bit, explanation is good, just takes time to digest!

Excellent lecture with very clear points that are made and in excellent chronological order. A fantastic way to get a brief overview and a great way to engrain the topics touched upon in the article.

This is nice a clear and well paced lecture. It's easy to understand. Thanks.

I think you could have gone in a little more in depth into the structure of photoreceptors. There were also a few other cells, such as the horizontal cells which backpack onto parts of the visual pathway-this knowledge is essential to understanding concepts of contrast. overall i do think it was a good lecture, but a little more depth into the vitreous humour and the aquous humour would have also helped

good summary and clear presentation with those details are often missed in other review lectures. Good job.

The organisation of the layers of the meninges and outer regions of the cranium were well put together, but the diagram regarding in the infoldings (falx cerebrum...etc) was poor. I could find way better diagrams with a simple search onto google

Excellent overview. Dr. Canby is one of my favorite lecturers for his clarity and straight-to-the-point lectures.

As for the lectures that i ve watched on lecturio, this is below standard, however,with those that i have watched so far pharmacology and pathology are 100% just listening to the their lectures is enough, but here anatomy is 20%. One will reaaly have to rely on class lectures , notes, power points etc. Really, poor.

If you want a quick review of the cortex and it's irrigation this is a perfect lecture. If you need detailed information you should review this topics in a book.

Need to go into much more details ! Way too generalustic, where are the roots, ganglions, names of branches???

Gracias a su clase pude comprender mejor lo que leí en mi libro de textos, ademas me ayudo a complementar mis conocimientos adquiridos en clases.

Good job! Craig. You give important points in the review of the topics, you make it easy to understand. Regards from Mexico.

explained well - its good for quick review I found it very helpful

explicita y concreta. me dio lo que necesitaba. los graficos estan geniales

nice concise summary of lecture and topic. I enjoyed it very much and it kept me attentive!.

falta detallar el origen aparente, el origen real, mas detalles de los nucleos donde se encuentra

The lecturer is mostly reading the slides. The qbank could also be implemented with explanations about the alternatives.

I would recommend this lecture to the osteopathic students snd colleagues

Excellent synthesis about cranial nerves and the most important clinical correlations

Explained is a simpified way for easy understanding Word Word Word Word

Great review of the 12 cranial nerves. Presented the material in a much more organized fashion than any of my medical school lectures did.

Very nice and clear explanations. Dr. Canby takes a very complicated topic and makes it easy to understand and remember. Thank you!

This broke down very difficult concepts regarding the ANS and the parasympathetic and sympathetic that I have been struggling to learn for MONTHS! I used my whiteboard to diagram as the lecturer taught and it finally stuck.

Simple and objective. lliked the ritm and the basic aspect

great presentation, it covers the basic stuff about Ventricular system.

Acoje adecuadamente cada tema y tiene un orden logico en las presentaciones. EN general pienso que pueden hacer las [resentciones mas didacticas, con mas imagines, graficas, animaciones etc.. a medida que va avanzando el curso en general. POr ahora creo que brinda la informacion gneralde los temas.

Excellent. This best way to get this in memory. I love his approach to the delivery of the lecture

These lectures were not very engaging - rather monotonous way of talking and a mixture of qualities of diagrams. In the lectures about the effects of lesions, the anatomy was shown in a very simple language, but then complex pathology terms were left unexplained (a few were explained, but the majority were not).

Hello, I usually don't rate lectures, but I had to do it here. The reason of that is that I found the certain video unable to make me understand the structures of the inner ear. Please be more specific and use better images, for example about what otoconia are and their use, the cupule etc. Despite of that I like dr. Candy. Thank you.

accurate selection of high-yield information and clinical correlations . Totally loved it.

Even though i don't use english as my main language i understood almost everything and i haven't really studied it well. I really liked it!

the course is clear and simple I be able to understand basic anatomy that of course suitable for me and I'll recommend it to my colleagues indeed.

A good lecture I feel could have been better. What are the 10 Roman numerals in the first figure attributed to? That question is left in my mind.

The Brodman áreas should be added. Great lecture besides that.

its nice liked it very much very nicely explained then others

He sounds so bored, which makes it hard to keep focused. Also some of the slides aren't readable

TOPICS ARE GOOD BUT DR IS VERY SLOW .....HE IS NOT ADDING NE EXTRA POINT BY HIMSELF ..JUST NARRATING THE SLIDES.......EVEN I CAN DO DAT......HE IS NOT AT ALL MAKING IT INTRESTING....FEELING SLEEPY ALL D TIME LISTNING HIS LECTURES....PLZ CONSIDER

Very clear explanation and great presentation. Very easy to follow.

It is very superficial. He just repeats whatever appeared on the slides. Additionally, the Doctor makes the lecture very boring.

Es un excelente profesor ya que es muy específico en la antomía, me gusta el sentido en el que va mencionando cada parte del organo y la función que cumple asi como sus patología so anomalias en cuestiones anormales

Very high yield info given in logical and presentable way

good cns lecture delivered in an understandable way. very helpful

presentation is pretty slow and he looks like just reading from prompter rather thn really explaning structures

i like his voice, explains calmly and thoroughly. helped to understand anatomy in a nice easy way. thanks craig.

These lectures are great! It's good to know also that a lot of topics that are discussed in one lecture are later elaborated on in another lecture too. Usually if I feel like some topic was not covered in depth, it just means that I was discussed further in another video. This is incredibly helpful for Step 1 prep!

Very nice methoad of teaching,first overview,then step by step teaching Neglect above negative comments???? Just flow with it,try questions too.

After reviewing Neuroanatomy in FA and Kaplan, it is fair to say this lecture has delved deeply in some accurate key points of visual pathways.I really admire the fact that you guys have put on some quizzes in the end but I was surprised to see a red flag that goes unnoticed.In one of the question about the right lower optic radiations from the 5 listed, I saw right after radiation Meyer's loop in parenthesis which is clearly a mistake when it comes to asking questions.In the exam, they won't give any clues to test takers because they will have figure out themselves whether or not it is either Meyer's or Non-Meyers' loop.

More voice inflection and emphasis on terms and anatomic function please.

To be a five-star explanation, Doctor Canby could fulfill the presentation with more images showing the structures described but not present in the pictures he used.

Very clear and to the point explanations. It’s like sitting in class.

Unfortunately I found the course confusing and superficial. In my opinion, it would be important that all the structures of the system be shown, while explaining their functions, for example. Sorry for any mistake, but I'm not used to writing in english.

???????????????????????? you guys made my test today easier, i had no struggle at all. It was an oral test, i made it short and sweet thanks to you

If you have trouble understanding certain concepts, or need introducing, this course can serve you well. However keep in mind that the course can only serve as an introduction, as it contains very little details. Make sure you adequately read ans study from a textbook on top of this.

Way too general, you need to go into more details and explain more

average explanation. This course does not go into deep details. Anyone who lacks fundamental knowledge of the ANS will not be able to get everything the prof said. The questions are good but some lack explanations, others which have explanations, are not rich enough. The diagrams could be better. And the feedback feature of questions is removed. I think the answer to one of the questions which is shown as right is wrong and I could not give feedback.

100m sprint race in Brain and nervous system.very much frustrated.

there was no explanation other than reading off the slides. neuro is a serious topic that require good explanation but the professor didn't even relate slides or information and treated every slide as a new topic.

Thank you for the lectures. Very helpful, I really recommend it

Everything is thoroughly explained and easy to follow along at all times

it was really clear, and precise, i really like the way he explain with the support of the images.

The class was clear and precise, I have no problem understanding.

Unbearable. Even in 1.25x he speaks way too slowly. Boring tone of voice as well

The descriptions where clear and comprehensive even to a non native english speaker like my self.

Information is definitely not sufficient for the exams, yet it is helpful for getting the sense of neuroanatomy.

if I don't know anything about para/symp nervous system, I wouldn't understand clearly. For example, in symphatetic outflow diagram, I wouldn't understand where the exact location of white or gray ramus in human body on the picture you used.

I understood SNS input and output quite well prior to watching this video. There are much better figures in textbooks to describe output pathways. I found the figure used a very odd departure from traditional figures and much more confusing.

Straight to the point and concise. World class lecturer. Really felt at home with it. Felt like I was studying from a very prestigious institution. I would love to recommend to all my colleagues. Just a small thing to note, it would have helped if we were told what plane the images are. It was mentioned for a few of them but others were not and took a little bit of working out like in the diencephalon lectures but otherwise top tier and nothing required too much effort.

Nice and clear explanation Good Voice and clear speaking friendly and open appearance -> clearly someone I love to listen to for hours

Students who have a very good grasp on the topic may not appreciate it, but overall a good brush up on the choroid plexus and CSF.

perfect course, it was great our techear doesn't explane well the material, now i got it more

The instructor is poorly prepared. Anyone can read off of a slide. Didn't even make an effort to find better pictures of structures that are covered. And by the way: hypothesis and hypophysis are completely different things.

Everything perfect explained. In the beginning I was lost with neuroanatomy but now I have more clearly concepts.

He made boring contents interesting not by adding nonsense jokes but by his ways of presentations.

I recommend all the lectures to all IMGs out there to brush up your knowledge on your basic subjects.

I find verything related to the brain and nerves to be very difficult to understand, but Dr. Canby makes it easy to get and this makes the whole learning process far more enjoyable. I don't know if it's just me but when I really like the lessons and the teacher, its much easier for me to pay attention and keep on listening.

Again this lecturer has all the important materials to entice students but lacks he ability to make and impact on our brains on important clinical correlations. Overall boring seems to be reading and not prepared and can't hold my attention with same low level emphasis on everything. Is there another lecturer cos I have to watch video a few times to grab what's important especially when I get the answers wrong.

Lecture was clear and straight forward. The diagrams made sense

Honestly, very difficult to follow, lecturer is not in control of subject matter and diagrams were very poor in visibility as well as explaining the content. People that are already well knowledgeable in subject will benefit more.

Excellent summary of an otherwise challenging subject. Thank you Dr. Canby. Onward!

Great Lecture! Very knowledgeable professor and nice visuals. Thank You!

I enjoyed watching this introduction to the limbic system and the conditions were very insightful. Thank you.

Dr. Canby is succinct and to the point with the added benefit of being enjoyable to learn from. Onward!

Very well explained! Very simplified. Actually helps me understand the lectures I get at Med School!

The questions were helpful, but the lecture was more of a recital. There were no extra explanations, no little tips, no compare and contrasts, to aid and understanding and recall. It was during the second or third time I was watching the hypothalamus that I realised that both medial nucei had to do with appetite regulation and satiety, and lesions could lead to hyperphagia; as opposed to the lateral, whose lesion had the opposite effect, ie starvation. Same thing with posterior and anterior, which have opposing effects on thermoregulation. I had to really focus and repeat the lecture to spot that out. he could have highlighted such points during the lecture.

Loved it, so clear and easy to understand. The presentation is extremely useful

Very comprehensible lectures! Thank you so much! Now I know the cranial nerves!

feeling amazing after knowing everything about cavernous sinus . Its simple and quick

Consider adding more information and content to the video especially in the clinical section

Awesome! Thank you. i am just wondering whether the Sinuses and the infoldings are the same thing? How many sinuses are composed by the dura mater and what are their names? Many thanks!

If I needed someone to read off the slides for me I'd just go back to my actual med school professor

Clear and concise, easy to understand and very clinically relevant.

Concise and easy to understand as always! The trochlear nerve only innervates the superior oblique muscle, but Dr Canby's diagrams are excellent - far better than what we use in lectures! I'm a happy student!

Dear Prof Canby, Thank you for taking the time to create this resource. I did enjoy it and I found it easy to follow. During the first few lectures, I was hoping for more information on some of the muscles which were involved, and towards the end of the course, you included pictures of the muscles with their attachments which were very helpful. Thank you for including the clinical considerations too. I needed to search some information myself, such as the meaning of general somatic / visceral afferents / efferents, online. I had not studied this before. You began clarifying the role of these towards the end of the course, e.g. general somatic efferent has motor control. This was helpful in consolidating the meaning these terms. A bit more information in the beginning may have been helpful. I look forward to viewing more of your lectures. Best wishes, Hudanur

I vbelieved he had a lot of clarity when explain confusing systems.

That's perfect to review these topics, good job! Clear and enough exhaustive!

Pretty informative lectures. Conveys a good amount of information without taking too long.

I think the lectures are very basic, the information is not sufficient for an exam questions

Clear explanation, easy to understand and interesting. Thank you for your effort Dr.

Very well-explained and thus helpful lectures! Also, the images are better than anywhere else.

it was perfect and obvious in explanation.... be clear and obvious in explanation has very important for me ... thanks a lot because of your effort...

basically the slides are all that matters in the course; the lecturer doesn´t add anything to them, so I just read the slides not listening to him. Could be better

A masterpiece. The simplistic approach to the delivery of the lecture is just awesome

Excellent simple presentation of a deceivingly simple concept. Great reminder while preparing for boards.

Thank you so much!! Really I´m so grateful. You are helping me a lot with all my studies. Greats from México City.

The content of the anatomy videos are great, beautiful diagrams, well written sentences, but with due respect to the lecturer, he has no game and kills the lecture for me. He is basically reading the power points with nothing new to add to the lecture and the fact that he swipe the tablet for the next sentence to appear slows down the lecture even more. It's really hard to advocate for the program. The word of mouth is not helping here. Ive showed it to friends and they are not willing to purchase the course, not to mention I've reported 4 mistakes in the anatomy material so far. Im glad we have the 10 days testing period, because Im cancelling the subscription. It hasnt proved to me the material is worth $60.

It was very simple and understandable. I could keep up without being confused.

Dr. Canby makes neuroanatomy very simple to understand! This lecture covers all the essentials, with great, colorful slides, perfect for visual learners!

I thought it was very straight forward and informational. Pretty good just for starters.

Dr Craig speaks clearly and slowly so it is easy to follow

so boring, it's no easy to follow. More pictures would be appeciated

I choosed this rating because it explains the topic very well, and I also like the clarification of the functions of a nerve.

lacklustre explanation and too concise - neuroanatomy is a subject that needs far more explanation even if just a review

The information is sound but he's boring, He does not make the material interesting. I find it hard to pay attention or not fall asleep during his lectures and therefore i do not do well with the quizzes.

Explains it to a point where the visual pathway is simple.

really nice ,lecture and also good questions at the end to assess,thank you

sir very good explainations,,,,,,,,,,following the course,,need more questions,so that it could help in doing uworld and STEP 1 ,,,,thankyou

really good sir,we need more questions after the lecture,my exam in june,step 1,so i opted for lecturio,by coming across on youtube,really good,

because it is free and I want to learn anatomy from videos

good knowledge i like this wedsite very very very much...........i like this professor craig candy his lecture was very good and i had taken very much knowledge.....

-Very concise and to the point -Pictures were very helpful for clarity -presentation was succinct and relevant -I have no prior mastery of the content but was able to follow and grasp the content Excellent presentation overall!!! A lifesaver. i have a neuro exam coming up in 2 weeks

we need more details about the sym/para outflow please

I really liked the way that the Professor explains but I believe there are things missing in the course. For example, the microscopic aspect of the brain stem. I think that Neuroanatomy is a very crucial course in Med school and worth giving a little more emphasis. Thank you for helping me out !

Missing alot of important information Missing alot of important information

i liked as a study guide. I think it could have more details.

Explained clearly, great use of images, quiz questions would be great though

it was very basic and very easy to understand...Prof. Craig Canby is a great teacher.

Brilliant!! Such an eye opener with meticulous presentation. I now know where to go for clarification

I enjoyed this presentation quite a bit. I feel like the information will be well remembered thanks to the excellent delivery.

Extremely informative. Well presented Lecture. Your voice is perfect to enable the information to be understood easily. Thank you.
