Abstract

Modern imaging techniques e.g. MRI tractography have reinvigorated interest in white matter tract (WM) anatomy. Latini et al (2015) modified the original Klinger’s (1935) WM dissection technique; embalming the brain via carotid arterial perfusion followed by freezing which allows grey matter removal exposing underlying WM. Ethylene glycol in the Aberdeenembalming solution however interferes with freezing. We therefore modified this technique, facilitating brain preparation whilst embalming the remainder of the cadaver using standard protocol.
