Description of this
animation
What is the
importance of this
animation?
developed for
The Freshman Neuroscience Course,
Winter 1995
Loma Linda University School of Medicine
Course Coordinator: Michael Kirby, Ph.D. For the
"Introduction to Motor Systems" lecture of A. Douglas
Will, M.D.. Dr. Doug Will was the inspiration behind this
animation, and it serves as a great help to medical
students.
This Shocked
animation was created in collaboration with Jeff
Sale. If you are interested in obtaining more

Why is this so important?
Normally, medical students in a freshman neuroscience
course must piece together various sources of
information, such as pictures from a text, or brief
experiences with a subject in an examination, in order to
create in their minds what is integrated here in this
shocked Macromedia Director®
animation. The advantage to watching an animation is not
only obvious, but the additional advantage of accessing
it for free over the World Wide Web is both
obvious and very exciting. This kind of
instructional technology rapid prototyping for medical
education at the undergraduate and graduate level is what
we emphasize here at Edworlds.
