The book you're holding is "Companion for 1st MBBS" by Singi Yatiraj (17th Edition, Jaypee) - a popular RGUHS-specific question bank. Based on the RGUHS previous year papers and the pattern from this book, here are the most frequently repeated 3-mark (Short Answer/Short Note) and 4-mark (Short Essay) questions in Neuroanatomy:
RGUHS 1st MBBS - Neuroanatomy
Most Repeated RS3 / RS4 Questions (3 & 4 Marks)
SHORT NOTES / SHORT ANSWERS (2-3 Marks)
These appear repeatedly across multiple years:
Brain & Cerebrum
- Falx cerebri - definition, relations, attachments (very frequently repeated)
- Circle of Willis - formation and clinical importance
- White matter (white fibers) of cerebrum - classification
- Internal capsule - parts, composition, blood supply
- Thalamic nuclei - classification and connections
- Corpus callosum - parts and functions
- Basal ganglia - components and functions
Ventricles & CSF
8. Third ventricle - boundaries and communications
9. Fourth ventricle - floor (rhomboid fossa), boundaries
10. Lateral ventricle - parts and communications
11. CSF - formation, circulation, absorption
12. Hydrocephalus - types (communicating vs. non-communicating)
Brainstem & Cerebellum
13. Transverse section of midbrain at inferior colliculus - (draw and label; asked almost every exam)
14. Transverse section of medulla at pyramidal decussation - (draw and label; very repeated)
15. Dentate nucleus - situation, connections, functions
16. Cerebellar peduncles - types and connections
Tracts & Pathways
17. Lateral spinothalamic tract - course, termination, applied
18. Corticospinal (pyramidal) tract - course, decussation, applied
19. Posterior column (Fasciculus gracilis & cuneatus) - course
20. Optic pathway - with diagram (lesions and visual field defects)
21. Auditory pathway - relay stations
Meninges & Blood Supply
22. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) - structure and significance
23. Arterial supply of spinal cord
24. Cavernous sinus - relations, tributaries, connections, applied anatomy (also asked as long essay)
25. Blood supply of cerebrum / superolateral surface of brain
Spinal Cord
26. Brown-Sequard syndrome (explain why/applied)
27. Anterior horn cells / motor neurons of spinal cord
28. Spinal cord segments vs. vertebral levels
SHORT ESSAY / 4-5 MARK QUESTIONS
- Describe the superolateral surface of cerebrum - sulci, gyri, functional areas (draw & label) - extremely repeated
- Circle of Willis - formation, branches, applied anatomy
- Internal capsule - parts, composition, blood supply, applied anatomy (UMN lesion/hemiplegia)
- Ventricular system of brain - with CSF circulation
- Optic pathway - with lesions causing visual field defects
- Corticospinal tract - origin, course, decussation, termination, applied
- Lateral spinothalamic tract - vs posterior column (dissociated sensory loss)
- Blood supply of spinal cord - arteries, applied
- Cerebellum - parts, blood supply, cerebellar ataxia
- Fourth ventricle - boundaries, floor with diagram
- Transverse section through midbrain - labeled diagram

QUICK EXAM TIPS for RGUHS Neuroanatomy:
- Always draw diagrams - RGUHS specifically says "draw neat labeled diagrams wherever necessary" - diagrams fetch easy marks
- The midbrain TS diagram is practically guaranteed every other exam
- For applied anatomy questions: know hemiplegia (internal capsule), Brown-Sequard (spinal cord), visual field defects (optic pathway)
- Cavernous sinus is a high-yield topic for both Paper 1 and Paper 2
These are compiled from RGUHS question papers 2008-2024 and cross-referenced with the Singi Yatiraj companion book pattern. Good luck with your exam!
