Effective Lecture on Components of the Auditory Pathway, Nuclei, and Otosclerosis
By Shane D. on 28. August 2023 for Auditory Nuclei, Auditory Pathway and Otosclerosis

Straightforward, explanative, and helpful It would be enhanced with the inclusion of labeled real anatomical structures to supplement learning and retention.

 
Great Lesson with Potential for Improvement through Editing
By Shane D. on 28. August 2023 for Deep Cerebellar Nuclei and Connections of Functional Divisions

Although this video provides helpful information essential to medicine, the video edit with another graphic, illustration, and animated image plus speaker threw me off.

 
Excellent teacher

Dr. Raj's lectures are always key to understanding the pathophysiology of every disease. Really high-yield!

 
thank you but....
By Nicolle . on 29. June 2023 for Vision: Signal Termination and Convergence

honestly, it almost looks like it was explained in the most unclear way I ever hear. on&off centers, no explanation on the laters of the retina, where did the signal send further by bipolar cells and maybe a little bit on the pathway could be nice probably a little bit more thinking need to be done here in order to makes it easier to understand
