- Inspect: Grooves indicating herniation? Hemorrhages?
- Dissect the basilar artery and circle of Willis, either before or after separation from the brain.[notes 1] Look mainly for thromboses.
- Separate the brainstem, cerebellum and cerebrum, which may be done by first separating the former two together from the cerebrum. Slice each part, looking for hemorrhages and/or infarcts.
