It is the purpose of this communication to describe a model of the visual pathways which was constructed in conjunction with Dr. David G. Cogan and used in the graduate course in ophthalmology at the Harvard Medical School. While brain modeling is a well established procedure in neurologic teaching, it appears to have been used relatively little in ophthalmologic courses. Mayer 1 recently described a model for demonstration purposes, but the model here described has the advantage over Mayer's in that it may be easily constructed by each student. By making a model himself a student can best acquire a three dimensional idea of the visual pathways and of their anatomic relationships.

Gross and microscopic brain sections are available, and each student is encouraged to obtain his information independently from these specimens and from various textbooks of neuroanatomy.
