#neuronurses need to think about the qualities of a test beyond simple accuracy. High specificity means that when the test says ‘no disease’ – the truth is ‘no disease’.

Based on #KISS - the round thing behind the central sulcus is called the “behind the center round thing” or Post Central Gyrus. #neuroanatomy #nursing #Neuronurses #neuronerds #nursingschool
