"money makes many men unhappy" - medial pectoral nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of arm, medial cutaneous nerve of forearm, medial root of median nerve, ulnar nerve. "m4u" - medial pectoral nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of arm, medial cutaneous nerve of forearm, medial root of median nerve, ulnar nerve. union of 4 medials - ulnar nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of arm, medial cutaneous nerve of forearm, medial pectoral nerve, medial root of median nerve. posterior cord branches star - subscapular (upper and lower), thoracodorsal, axillary, radial. rats- radial

indicates the medial to lateral location in the cerebellar white matter. or inversely, "don't eat greasy food", where each letter indicates the lateral to medial location in the cerebellar white

guarding very ancient horcruxes there are many mnemonics for the names of the cranial nerves, e.g. "ooottafagvsh" is "old open oceans trouble tribesmen about fish venom giving various acute/splitting headaches" (a mnemonic that gives enough letters to distinguish between nerves that start with the same letter), or "on old olympus's towering tops, a finn and german viewed some hops," and for the initial letters "ooottafvgvah" is "oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel very good velvet ... ah, heaven." the differences between these depend on "vestibulocochlear nerve" versus "acoustic nerve" and "accessory nerve" versus "spinal accessory nerve". old ollie oson teaches teenagers about fashion very gladly very adequately hilarious only our old trusty vodka and friends validate great victories,

marry money, but my brother says big business makes money. a common example mnemonic for remembering which nerves are motor (m), sensory (s), or both (b), "some say marry money but my brother says benevolent bride matters more". there are a very large number of additional mnemonics. summertime seems more majestic because multiple bystanders sing brilliant ballads making masterpieces silly sally

brains make money 3 branches of the trigeminal nerve (cn v) standing room only can be used to remember that: v1 (ophthalmic nerve) passes through the superior orbital fissure v2 (maxillary nerve) through the foramen rotundum v3 (mandibular nerve) through the foramen ovale. 5 branches of the facial nerve (cn vii) for the five branches of the facial nerve there are: "two zebras bit my cookie" or "to zanzibar by motorcar" or "to zoo by my car" temporal branch zygomatic branch buccal branch marginal mandibular branch cervical branch lateral geniculate nucleus (thalamus) in neuroanatomy, the lateral geniculate nucleus is a structure in the thalamus and a key component of the mammalian visual pathway. a simple mnemonic for remembering which layers of lateral geniculate body are synapsed with the ganglion cells of the ipsilateral or contralateral optic nerve is "see i? i see, i see," with "see" representing the c in "contralateral," and "i" representing the i in "ipsilateral." (ciicic) another is "emily and pete meet eye to eye" as in "m and p meet i to i," or again, "magno and parvo meet ipsi to ipsi." (mmpppp) another way of remembering which layers of lateral geniculate body are synapsed with the ganglion cells of the ipsilateral or contralateral optic nerve is 2+3=5 (layers ii, iii and v), which is correct, so it is from the same (ipsilateral) side as the ganglion cells from the side of question, while at the same time 1+4 doesn't equal 6, so the remaining layers (i, iv, and vi) are synapsing with ganglion cells of the other (contralateral) optic nerve. coronal section of brain (structures) "in extremis, cannibals eat people's globus pallidi instead of their hearts": from insula to midline: insula extream capsule claustrum external capsule putamen globus pallidus internal capsule thalamus hypothalamus anterior pituitary hormones flag top fsh lh acth gh tsh melanocyte stimulating hormone prolactin etc. bowel components "dow jones industrial average closing stock report" from proximal to distal: duodenum jejunum ileum appendix colon sigmoid rectum duodenum: lengths of parts "counting 1 to 4 but staggered":p. 1 1st part: 2 inches 2nd part: 3 inches 3rd part: 4 inches 4th part: 1 inch endocrine glands the major glands of the endocrine system, excluding ovaries and testes: "t-a-p."
