Development of the Nervous System
Note that I'm not sure exactly what details from the lecture are most important for exams... so if it seems like minutiae, it might be.
31
cards
Intro to Neuroanatomy and Neuroimaging
There's probably not too much flash-cardable stuff from this lecture...
16
cards
Structural and Functional Properties of Neurons (and Glia)
Again, level of detail might be too much. If it upsets you... ignore it.
24
cards
Spinal Cord: Organization and Neural Systems (Dr. White)
Hold on to your butts. (Didn't make flash cards for charts on the last two slides, but those are probably important.)

A lot of this material will probably be covered later, and the details will hopefully be more relevant. If you don't care about pontomesencephalotegmental complex right now... that's probs ok.

39
cards
Brainstem 2: Nuclear Organization
It's a goddamn mess in there. Since the names for nerve fibers (GSE, etc.) are worthless, I'm substituting them with made-up mnemonic ones. They weren't emphasized, but knowing them helps some of the diagrams make sense.
