    Brilliant, Sir! What is outstanding in your presentation is that you immediately talking about the tracts. Confusion arises when the topic begins with talking about the Lateral Pathways and Anterior medial pathways etc.etc. Just this morning I watched the presenter getting very confused!!!! (about the anterior medial pathway which he 'dragged' it into the discussion about the lateral pathway! Sad to watch!). You are a very gifted teacher and a wonderful communicator. Your greatest gift is recognising what the "guts" of the issue is and communicating it clearly. Many who have videos on the motor pathway and other neurology topics (or on any topic) have a great deal to learn from you. Thank you and all the best! If only I had a teacher like you years and years ago in medical school.......!!!!
