Abstract

Learning neuroanatomy is challenging due to the complexity and interconnectedness of anatomical structures. Technological alternatives have been designed to complement traditional teaching approaches, however there is mixed evidence for their use. This research aimed to systematically review the evidence for teaching practises, identify learner-based factors for knowledge acquisition and compare effectiveness of teaching methods. Neuroanatomy instructional approaches were found to be highly variable between medical schools across ANZ. Students' spatial ability, motivation and anxiety were the identified relevant factors influencing learning. Modern teaching methods may best complement traditional methods of learning to enhance neuroanatomy education.
