More evidence for terrestriality in baurusuchids. Great to see notosuchian endocast/endocranial morphology being more explored!

A coronal view of the surgical trajectory for the interhemispheric corridor. Important structures include: 1) cingulum, 2) corpus callosum & 3) fornices. Take care to preserve the cerebrovascular structures at each dissection level.

The arachnoid layer of the is attached to the dura. The pia is firmly attached to the dura by 21 pairs of extensions called denticulate ligaments.The denticulate ligaments promote spinal cord stability by limiting cranial-caudal movements.

American neurosurgeon Peter Jannetta (1932-2016) was dissecting cranial nerves in the lab when he noticed a blood vessel pressing on a nerve. This led to a microvascular decompression operation for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and other vascular compression syndromes!

Artists are a curious lot, heads filled with mysterious images wanting to manifest in a visual sensibility.
Imagine that.
It is amazing to consider some mental impulse traveling from the cranial cavern, through the arm and out the fingers. What an incredible process it is.

Neurovascular conflict for cranial nerve compression syndromes can include arteries and veins. Which artery is the most common culprit in trigeminal neuralgia? What about in hemifacial spasm?
