Abstract
Human neuroanatomy is extremely complex, and functional neuroanatomical pathways cannot be dissected and easily visualized in an anatomy lab. Teaching students to see neuro-anatomical relationships over the extent of the neuraxis is challenging. The ability to internalize a 3D map of the neuraxis with the appropriate clinically relevant neuro-pathways superimposed is critical for medical students, as it facilitates long-term retention of the information as opposed to short-term memorization. Interactive 3D simulations can play a significant role in facilitating learning through engagement, immediate feedback, and by providing real-world contexts.
