How to prepare the brains for fiber dissection
Dr. David Mato
08:30 h.
3D Lecture: anatomy of the dorsal associative tracts of the brain: superior longitudinal fasciculus, arcuate fasciculus, middle longitudinal fasciculus.
Dr. Juan Martino
09:00 h.
Functional roles of the dorsal associative tracts of the brain
Dr. Alejandro Fernández-Coello
09:15 h.
Hands-on session: fiber dissection of the dorsal associative tracts. Each participant will have one hemisphere to dissect. The participants will learn how to remove the arachnoid membranes and the cortex without damaging the underling white matter. The participants will dissect the dorsal associative tracts: the subcomponents of the superior longitudinal fasciculus, arcuate fasciculus, and middle longitudinal fasciculus.
Professor Hugues Duffau, Dr. Juan Martino, Dr. Alejandro Fernández-Coello, Dr. Emmanuel Mandonnet, Dr. Pablo González-López, Dr. David Mato, Dr. Carlos Velasquez, Dr. Carlos Santos, Dr. Guillermo García-Catalán, Dr. Jesús Esteban, Dra. Patricia López, Monserrat Fernández-Calderón
13:00 h. / LUNCH
14:00 h.
3D Lecture: anatomy of the ventral associative tracts and the fascicles related to the insula: inferior longitudinal fasciculus, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus and uncinate fasciculus.
Dr. Juan Martino

Intraoperative electrical stimulation mapping of associative fiber pathways.

3D Lecture: limbic and paralimbic tumors. Anatomy and related surgical approaches.
Dr. Pablo González-López
15:45 h.
Hands-on session: fiber dissection of the ventral associative tracts and the fascicles related to the insula. Each participant will have one hemisphere to dissect. The participants will dissect the ventral associative tracts and the tracts related to the insula region: inferior longitudinal fasciculus, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus and uncinate fasciculus.
