Form follows function!! Do you know functional neuroanatomy? This post will help you to remember the functional neuroanatomy you need to function if you are reading brain MRIs! Here’s how: 1. First start at the top —At the top you will see a gyrus that looks like a thumbs... sticking up. This is the superior frontal gyrus (SFG). —Remember this bc you get a thumbs up when you do a superior job! 2. Next to the SFG is the middle frontal gyrus —This looks like knuckles next your superior frontal gyrus thumb —Remember this bc your MIDDLE finger is in your knuckles —ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE KNUCKLES W/THE THUMBS UP! 3.Use the SFG to find the motor strip —SFG has a motor & language component —Motor component is first at the back (remember, you walk before you talk!) —Motor component of SFG crashes into the motor strip —Remember, when two cars crash, their MOTORS hit 4.Confirm its the motor strip by finding the hand omega —Hand motor region looks like an upside down omega —Remember Omega is a fancy watch brand you wear near your HAND! Hopefully now you will be eloquent when it comes to this eloquent cortex!!!show more
