can anyone tell me how important it is to know all the cerebral arteries and veins and the parts of the brain or brainstem they supply or drain?
just seems a little overwhelming. any tipos?

thanks for your help1

yep i concur. it's important stuff because clinically a lot of the times the lesion is because of the blood supply, so you must know what supplies what parts of the brain and what that will cause.

and i will 3rd that. you def. need to know the arterial supply for the brain and the brain stem.

For the love of God and all that is holy, if there is one thing you come away knowing from neuro it should be those.

Try to get your hands on the Neuro Netter Atlas---is is much better than the one recommended and has additional neuro slides than the regular Netter.

thanks for all your input... i better go learn em now

Do not neglect neuroanatomy. It is very important, plays a big role one exams and in the practice of medicine.
