INTERACTIVE 3D USER INTERFACES FOR NEUROANATOMY EXPLORATION

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.
