This channel saved my degree.

The names of the pathways also tell you a bit about what the pathways do. Ex. Cortico-spinal can be translated to cortex to spine which means it's going from the head to body. You can then deduce this is motor related. Ex. Spinothalamic can be translated to from spine to cortex. You can then assume that this is sensory. If you're short on time, this can at least help you eliminate some choices even if you don't know exactly what it is.

I don't usually comment but I just wanted to say - I passed my neuro block because of you. Thank you Dirty Medicine!!!

Are you kidding me man?! How are you so damn good? We don't deserve you! Glad to have you!

I'm in my second last year of medicine and honestly, I have never understood these concepts as clearly as I do now, after watching your videos. Thank you so much!

These pathways are so forgettable that I have to re-learn it every now and then. These mnemonics make it easier. Btw, my teacher taught me a mnemomic for Brown-Sequard syndrome which makes it very easy that I remember it upto this point. I want to share it. DISC LION DISC is for SENSORY loss (below the lesion) DI = Dorsal column (Ipsilateral), SC = Spinothalamic tract (contralateral) For those wondering what about "At the level of the lesion", it's obvious. You can deduce that there'll be hyperesthesia on the same side, and nothing will happen on the opposite side. LION is for MOTOR loss. LI = Lesion (ipsilateral), ON = Normal (opposite) So, at the level of the lesion, you'll have LMNL and below the level of the lesion, UMNL. Even though motor is said to be "normal" for opposite site of the lesion, there will be some deficit in axial and proximal muscles because of ACST damage.

2 weeks away from my step 1 and I have never understood brown sequard syndrome so clearly as I do now. THANK YOU DIRTY

You deserve all the happiness in the universe. Thank you so much for your videos!

You saved many medical students. We will be grateful to you

You are definitely going to heaven 🤗

This is the MOST incredible video ever! Im soooo thankful for your existence! lol saving med students lives!!!!! THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for your videos on neurology, they are excellent!

Just Wow! You Sir have a gift at making everything so understandable. Thank you.

Great channel for physios too! Hats off.

This helped so much! Thanks for saving us medical students!

3 synapses in DCML pathway : Sensory neuron in the fingers/toes >> Dorsal column nuclei (sensory neuron projects upto the DCN in medulla where it decussates in the medial lemniscus and projects upwards to the thalamus) Dorsal column nuclei >> Thalamus Thalamus >> Primary sensory cortex (cortical centre of the brain responsible for processing all sensory input from the body)

Good vid but kind’ve counterintuitive on the colorings for the Corticospinal tract where you put the LCST (UMN) in red in writing but the picture that’s up has it as a blue tract, and the Anterior Horn (LMN) is blue in writing but red on the drawing 😅

You deserve a medal 🏅 Thank you so much, take love 💕

WOW. you are just....amazing. thanks for this.

Many Thanks! I used to have a hard time getting into it when I was a preclinical student. And I just understood this NOW! 😢

wonderfully explained. You are better than my professor.

This was so great, thank you

This is best bro.

God bless this man

I love your videos!

Oh GOD you saved my life! Thank youuu

Very very helpful! Thank you so much!

Thank you for making it simple i was so confused with all these tracts

This channel is GOD SENT

This was so helpful!!!

Thank you sm! that was extremely helpful!!

Awesome explanation 👍

The 3 pathways mentioned at the beginning are the most important

Bless you bro you are helping a lot

God sent! Thanks so much

You're simply the best 😍😍

don't know where i'd be without you

Thanks for the refresher! Great summary.

Great video!

Thank you!

Great video..... thanks

Thank you for the big picture review!

Thank you so much!!🥹

Wrangle concept,well explained

You are great

Thank you from 🇦🇺

Amazing work, keep it up please

Amazing!!!!!

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

Very good.

In Brown Sequard, there would also be LMN findings ipisilaterally AT the level of the lesion, correct? Not just UMN below level on the lesion? Thanks!

you are,,, genius.

Thank you LOve from Pakistan

Perfection

AMAZING 😀

Thank you 😊

love it

Pls make some videos on microbiology topics, will be waiting

I LOVE YOU!!!

You're Godsent

I swear God send you to save us all!

dammm =))) thank you so much for this crazy mnemonic

After doing synapsis with the second neuron, does its axon go by the dorsal column? Or is there a colateral way to the medulla oblongata neuron? I couldn't understand your scheme just at this point...

Thanks

you are a king

can you do one on medullary syndromes?

17:14 - Decreased pin prick refers to decreased pain sensation not discriminative touch and would indicate a lateral spinothalamic tract problem, right?

Is there a video about vestibular ocular reflex VOR ? If not, we need one please.

You saved me omg.

Thanks for this 😭😭😭😭😭

At 7:28 you say upper motor neuron is red and lower motor neuron is blue, your picture shows the opposite just FYI.

I got my med school diploma from Dirty Medicine School of Medicine

Jaani had de pe oko 🤧❤️

Please make video on varoius brain herniations and their syndromes. Havent found one good video on it here on YT.

why do you loose pain and temp 2 segments below when the decussate at the level of the lesion?

We should know the blood supply to all of these tracts though, right?

when you say that the effect for first two tracts(corticospinal tract and posterior colum) is ipsilateral you say that because of the variation of the decussation of the tract compared to the Spinothalamic tract( as in the decussation for the first two happens in the medulla and the decussation for the lateral spinothalamic tract happens in the spinal cord level). please correct me if im wrong.

I must have missed something...since the Corticospinal Tract and the Medial Lemniscus decussate in the medulla, aren't their effects contralateral? The video says ipsilateral, so I'm confused. Help!

Why are there no pain and temp sensation loss at the level of Brown squard lesion? If the signal comes to dorsal nucleus then it need to cross to the opposite side via the lissauer tract which is destroyed…😅 Also I don’t remember adding 2-3 levels when localizing the level of lesion of spinal cord injury using either motor or sensory deficit like in ASIA classification.

Help me understand why a common term used is spinel cord The actual name is Brain cord, protected by the spine.

Why wouldn't we consider ipsilateral vs contralateral manifestations of the lesions based on if the lesion is above or below the decussation?

Sorry, isn't it flipped in 6:49? Blue is UMN and red is LMN?

why sensation is lost at level (LMN) and UMN below the level of lesion ?

Did they ever catch the guy who did the stabbing?

I love u

Why did this video come to me after the exam? It's hurts

Some Doctors Don’t Think Politically -> to add Decussation into the mnemonic

osteopathic schools have anatomist with a Master's teach this. If there is any disagreement please let me know.

t🐐

you are fast no need to speed the video

It is a good video overall, thanks. But I believe that it is too superficial. May be used as a last review only.

I fucking hated neuroanatomy, now I am ok with it.
