dc.description.abstractThe complex pathways of the neural tracts, from the cerebral cortex, through the complex anatomy of the brainstem, can be difficult for medical students to visualize and challenging for instructors to convey. Text references, 2-dimensional illustrations, and anatomical crosssectional photographs have been the most useful teaching aids available for the lecture room. Although this material is fundamentally useful, medical students often find them ineffective for comprehending the 3-dimensional aspect of the subject. Based on the success of the first animated neural tract by Chris Akers in his thesis project The Spinothalamic Tract: An Animated 3-dimensional Instructional Aid (Akers, 2003), the goal of this project was to continue assisting instructors in teaching the concepts of the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts by producing a digitally animated, 3-dimensional instructional aid. An animation of this nature and content will be a valuable addition to the existing study material available to medical students.en

File format for video streaming. May be structured as "single stream," where the content is represented in one datastream, or as the scalable SureStream type, where a file contains multiple versions of content encoded at different data rates, with the selection of the stream for enduser presentation determined at delivery time. Streams may be encoded as constant bitrate, variable bitrate (encoded to provide target average bitrate), or for constant visual quality (producers may select a not-to-exceed instantaneous bitrate). In RealNetworks literature, version 9 is differentiated from version 10 only in terms of coding efficiency; this description applies to both. Generally a final-state (end-user delivery) format.
