Dissection of the Brain & Spinal Cord (Neuraxis) Bruno J. Chikly, MD, DO (France), and Alaya Chikly, LMT

In the DVD Dissection of the Brain and Spinal Cord (Neuraxis), Bruno J. Chikly, MD, DO (France), and Alaya Chikly, LMT, present a detailed and explicit evaluation of the specific structures of the central nervous system. They start by helping viewers to orient themselves to a brain model before shifting to a systematic explanation of each dissection cut. Each structure is carefully labeled with English and Latin anatomical terminology. The 14 chapters of this DVD are an amazing introduction to the complex structures and terminology of neuroscience. Dr. Chikly is a graduate of the medical school at St. Antoine Hospital in Paris. A registered osteopath in France, Dr. Chikly received an honorary DO degree from the European School of Osteopathy in Maidstone, Kent, in the United Kingdom and a doctoral degree in osteopathy from the Royal University Libre of Brussels in Belgium. Alaya Chikly developed heart-centered therapy, an approach that addresses the emotional component of disease. 1 hour, 38 minutes; $85 AAO members receive a 10% discount. • www.academyofosteopathy.org
