Introduction: Undergraduate medical students usually find it difficult to correlate neuroanatomical texts with spatial relations of white and grey matters in different areas of brain. Today in spite of newer imaging techniques for accurate localization of brain lesions, for medical undergraduates traditional method of dissection still remains as greatest tool to learn neuroanatomy. Aim: To dissect insula, corona radiata, external and internal capsule &major deep subcortical structures. Material & methods: Ten formalin fixed adult human cerebral hemispheres were dissected by fibre dissection from superolateral surface to medial surface using conventional dissecting instruments. Step by step description is mentioned everytime. Results: Creation of three dimensional brain specimens which reveal the intimate relations of brain structures with each other and fibre pattern of fasciculi. Conclusion: Brain specimens showing fasciculi and important deep structures can be dissected in routine formalin fixed brains using this cost effective method
