    Elsevier have a sample chapter of Netter’s Concise Neuroanatomy available for the thalamus, which I talked about today. It’s very nice, with the excellent illustrations that we’re used to and much of the relevant information about the thalamic nuclei and their motor, sensory and limbic system links summarised in tables. Have a look at the…

    I’ve been a proponent of using interactive feedback technology in lectures (which means I can ask questions in my lecture, students can answer using a remote control with 10 or so buttons on it and we can all see how well we’re doing) for some time.

    There’s been a lot of chatter about Google’s new product, “Wave“, for the last couple of months. Looking from the outside it’s difficult to see what it does, what it does different, and what we can really use it for. It’s in beta at the moment so only a limited number of people are able…
