A Simple and Consistent Rule for Easy Learning of Neuroanatomy: Three Neurons of Afferent Nerves

Many students regard neuroanatomy as a terrifying subject due to the complicated neuronal connections. Purpose of this research was promote easy and logical learning by systematizing rule “three neurons afferent nerves.” The rule, in which second neuron decussates reaches thalamus, applied many structures possible. three are drawn constant pattern intuitively demonstrate rule. could be not only spinothalamic tract, medial lemniscus pathway, sensory cranial nerves (visual trigeminothalamic taste auditory pathway) ascending reticular activating system, but also pontocerebellum (afferent cerebrum), basal nuclei (direct pathway), limbic system (medial circuit). Exceptionally, some do exactly follow suggested This simple corresponds pathways neuroanatomy, is expected make novice easier.
