Our department’s research activities have focused on neuroanatomy and gross anatomy. In neuroanatomical research, the development and organization of neuronal networks are investigated to elucidate brain function and diseases by means of immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy, in-situ hybridization histochemistry, singlecell tracer injection, and patch-clamp electrophysiology. Our primary int...

Today, with emphasis on the mechanical heart and heart transplantation from one human to another andone species to another, a knowledge of the anatomy of the bird’s heart could contribute to theseaccomplishments. Eight male adult ostriches were used to study the heart macroscopically. This studyrevealed that the ostrich heart has some different features from the other birds. In the ostrich, fib...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Gross anatomy is one of the preclinical cornerstones of medical education, but many practitioners feel that medical students' knowledge of anatomy is inadequate. To help students understand the clinical relevance of anatomy studies, Ohio State University faculty developed a course called "Anatomy Correlations." This course introduces students to basic physical examinat...
