Starting stage. This image shows the underside of the brain. It is in this picture that you can get a good idea of where the different cranial nerves attach to the brain.

Step 1.

The main parts of the central nervous system and larger superficial structures on the underside of the brain WITHOUT the cranial nerves.

Step 2.

The main parts of the central nervous system and major superficial structures on the underside of the brain WITH the cranial nerves. The best way to examine the cranial nerves is probably to first extinguish them all and then light them as you go.

Step 3.

Interesting superficial areas on the underside of the large brain. The brainstem and cerebellum have been removed by cutting through the midbrain at the height of the upper four-mound track.

The brain seen from below: superficial areas.
