    1. OTHER FACTS

      AB: Should we color-code this table to make it more clear that these are associated to either the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. I.e., first 3 rows one color for forebrain, next 3 rows another color for midbrain, and last 3 rows a different color for hindbrain.

    2. Altogether, brain blood is drained in the following order before deoxygenated blood reaches the heart:

      AB: In the image below, 3rd panel, should be "Dural Sinuses"

    3. Connecting the extracranial vessels draining the scalp to the intracranial dural venous system are the emissary veins. These are also valveless structures that play a role in cooling of the brain and providing an alternate pathway in cases where the dural venous sinuses become obstructed. They are mainly formed by the junction of a venous sinus, diploic veins and superficial cranial veins.

      AB: Should we also mention the dural venous system's role in draining CSF?

    4. Lateral surface of the left and right hemispheres Exception: superior portion of the parietal lobe (via the anterior cerebral artery) and the inferior portion of the temporal lobe and occipital lobe (via the posterior cerebral artery)

      AB: Differing font sizes

    5. External brain: Frontal lobe (superior and medial regions) and anterior parietal lobe Deep brain: Cingulate gyrus, anterior column of fornix, optic chiasma, hypothalamus (preoptic areas); frontal cortex

      AB: Differing font sizes

    6. External brain: occipital lobe and inferior part of the temporal lobe Deep brain: Choroid plexus, thalamus and posterior limb of internal capsule

      AB: Differing font sizes

    7. arises from the arch of the aorta, left to the common carotid artery.

      AB: Technically the vertebral arteries originate from the subclavian arteries, rather than arising directly from the arch of aorta.

    8. Wernicke’s area (Figure 7)

      Same note as above.

      AB: Should we specify how Broca's area and Wernicke's area are most commonly found in the left hemisphere?
