Advanced 3D fiber dissection course


Next October (Friday, 13th and Saturday, 14th) will take place an advanced 3D fiber dissection course in Santander.
The participants will learn the technique of fiber dissection in order to acquire the mental imagery of the main white matter tracts.
We wanted to give a practical perspective to the course; therefore, in the second day of the course, the participants will directly apply the knowledge acquired to practice surgical approaches in the laboratory. We will simulate in the specimens an insular and ventricular approach.
