Thank you so much Dr

The scheme in the beginning is inspired from Dr. Najeeb's lecture about the Diencephalon.
Thank you from a second year medical student ❤
Content:
0:00 Introduction
Detailed, i finally understood this, thank you so so much
0:55 Topography of Diencephalon
1:58 Parts of the Diencephalon
I’m a fifth med student in Vietnam, preparing for usmle, when I read gray anatomy, I found that there are 4 nuclear group in thalamus: Anterior, Lateral, Medial and INTRALAMINA. I dont know the role of intralamina nuclear group. Can you explain it to me? Thank you so much
4:48 Thalamus: External
5:32 Thalamus: Internal
Amazing content as always!
13:55 Metathalamus
15:56 Metathalamus Connections with Thalamus
Amazing 🎉
16:57 Epithalamus
17:57 Subthalamus
Amazing video
18:25 Hypothalamus
20:22 Hypothalamic Nuclei
your 3d videos are a lifesaver, i dont know how else would i have passed anatomy
Topography of the Diencephalon:
- Lies above the Mesencephalon
Can't be amazing than this lecture❤
- Lies around the 3rd ventricle
Parts of the Diencephalon:
Which app do you use to visualize anatomical structures, and which app do you use to present those structures? I’d like to know how you create such high-quality anatomy videos, because I’d also like to prepare similar ones for my students. ;)
- Thalamus
- Epithalamus
- Subthalamus
- Metathalamus
Maravilloso!!!
- Hypothalamus
External Thalamus:
❤
- Anterior Tubercle (Tuberculum Anterius Thalami)
- Pulvinar (Pulvinar Thalami)
Thanks for the amazing video!!!
- Interthalamic Adhesion (Adhesio Interthalamica)
Internal Thalamus:
- Internal Medullary Lamina (Medial Medullary Lamina)
Being an anatomy teacher for 14 years..I couldn't find anything more precise and interesting than this lecture .
- Anterior Nuclei
○ Emotional Episodic Memory
ILY
○ A part of the Limbic System (Hyppocampys, Thalamus, Amygdala, Fornic, Cingulate Gyrus, Mamillary Body)
○ Papez Circuit
i dont know how to appreciate ! great job man !❤
- Medial Nuclei (Medial Dorsal Nucleus)
○ Relate Sensory, motor, and olfactory with emotions
Hi this is an amazing video, and you mentioned everything quite beautifully with lovely animations and illustrations. Just wanted to point out that the part where you talk about the structures of Diencephalon is inspired by Dr Najeeb, as he describes it inside his videos the same way. Just wanted to give credit where it is due. Otherwise, marvelous video, love your channel.
- Lateral Nuclei
○ Lateral Dorsal
thank you so much
§ Lateral Dorsal
§ Lateral Posterior
Thank you soooo much!
○ Lateral Ventral
§ Ventral Anterior (Basal Ganglia)
So far the best video 😭
§ Ventral Lateral (Basal Ganglia)
§ VentroPosterioLateral Nuclei (VPL)
§ Medial Lemniscus
§ Spinothalamic Tract
hated studying diencephalon for whole 2nd year as i always felt stuck studying it from book .
this was the best! worth every second.
finally someone who doesnt jus read booklines💖💖💖
§ VentroPosterioedial Nuclei (VPM)
§ Trigeminal Lemniscus (Lemniscus Trigeminalis)
One of the best teachers ive seen, im very impressed !!
§ Gustation (Taste)
○ Pulvinar
i love you to death... this video was really helpful, thank u so much!!!
Metathalamus:
- Medial Geniculate Body
Thanks.
○ Auditory Pathway:
○ Cochlear Nerve
Wow your explanations are mesmerizing...thanks
○ Cochlear Nuclei
○ Lateral Lemniscus
Meta thalamus is technically not present on lateral sides...they are present on (posterior + inferior edge) of Thalamus
○ Inferior Colliculi
○ Brachium of the Inferior Colliculi (Brachium Colliculi Inferior)
This video saved me hours, brilliant 🤍🤍
○ Medial Geniculate Body
○ Primary Auditory Cortex (Superior Temporal Gyrus)
Thank you soooo much, watching you from Peru
- Lateral Geniculate Body
○ Visual Pathway:
But everything is a cascade of mechanics like a Rube Goldberg device so there's absolutely nothing mystical about the output that is expressed externally from a body that ultimately is the computational result of the formulation that was "mixed" in the "lab" of any given human being 🤓☝🏼💁🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
○ Receptors of Optic Nerve (CNII)
○ Optic Chiasm
Torture 😢
○ Lateral Geniculate Body (Metathalamus)
○ Primary Visual Cortex
Thank you soo much for your biggest effort your explanation is crazy , please continue ❤❤
○ Brachium of the Superior Colliculi (Brachium Colliculi superior)
○ Inferior Colliculi
thank you
Metathalamus connection with Thalamus:
This video was great, i was really confused with all the diencephalon parts before🤝🤝thank you very much
- Pulvinar, Lateral Posterior and Lateral Dorsal
- Receives information from Superior Colliculus and Inferior Colliculus. As well as Medial Geniculate body and Lateral Geniculate Body
Very precise and best lec
Epithalamus:
- Pineal Gland (Corpus Pineale)
You're such a genius!...how beautifully explained!.. thank youu man!!
○ Produces Melatonin
- Habenular Trigone (Trigonum Habenulae)
If you don't mind can I ask you which book are you studying from?? . Do you use one book or more than one to refer?
- Habenular Nuclei (Nuclei Habenulares)
- Habenular Commissure (Commissura Habenularum)
Volgmu ppl hang out here😂
- Posterior Commissure (Commissura Posterior)
Subthalamus
- A part of the Basal Ganglion to help start a movement, stop movement, and coordinate movement
ناااااار وشرار ❤❤❤❤❤❤ابداع عنجد
Hypothalamus
- Thalamus Opticus
From the picture at 18:22 we observe there are two thalamuses on each hemisphere, two putamens, and so on. Do all these structures communicate with each other through the corpus callosum or use a different route?
○ Optic Chiasm (Chiasma Opticum)
○ Optic Tract (Tractus Opticus)
Thanks!
- Mamillary Bodies (Corpus Mamillare)
○ Emotional Episodic Memory
Thank you from Bangladesh. I'm a 2nd year MBBS student in Rajshahi Medical College. Your vedioes are really helpful to understand the complex topic. ❤
○ Reflex with Olfaction
- Hypothalamic Nuclei
Thank you 👍 🧠🫁🫀🌍🇮🇳🇱🇷🙋🤠🐎🧑💻🌌⚖️
○ Lateral Hypothalamic Area
○ Posterior Hypothalamic Area
That's a really meticulous lecture, thanks ❤
○ Anterior Hypothalamic Area
○ Paraventricular Nucleus (Pain)
Mostly interesting
Thankyou
Tips dimensions conscious behaviour
○ Preoptic Nucleus (Decreases HR, BP, etc)
○ Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (Circadian Rhythm)
Thank you sooo much you helped me well guys 🫶🏽
○ Supraoptic Nucleis (Thirst)
○ Arcuate Nucleus (Regulate Hormone Release)
can believe i found your vid 2 days before my exam. thankyou so much
○ Ventromedial Nucleus (Satiety Feeling)
○ Mamillary Bodies
○ Dorsal Medial (Sleep regulation and food intake)
- Tuber Cinerum
- Infundibulum
- Pituitary Gland (Posterior Pituitary)
