Abstract The study of neuroanatomy is fundamental in many scientific fields. Despite this, it is a challenging subject for students. As technology evolves, it is being increasingly incorporated into educational methods, including the teaching of neuroanatomy. Three‐dimensional (3D) visualizations are well suited for displaying neuroanatomy.

Moving beyond neurophobia to cultivate the neuroquisitive learner
Abstract “Neurophobia,” a pervasive fear of the neurological sciences, poses a significant barrier in medical education, affecting learners and physicians worldwide. Its consequences are far‐reaching, contributing to a limited neurology workforce and diminished confidence among non‐specialists in managing neurological conditions.

Student and staff experiences of interactive digital models when learning animal anatomy
Abstract Compared to human medical sciences, digital models of animals are rare, often behind subscription services and are comparatively lacking in interactivity and accessibility features. This study explores how digital models are currently being used to teach animal anatomy, providing the data required to construct the best anatomical models ...

Histories in bone: Navigating the ethical landscape of human skeletal collections in South Africa
Abstract Provenance is at the center of addressing the complicated ethical stewardship of legacy human skeletal collections. Many South African (SA) health science institutions have skeletal collections. While the history of the collections and the demographics of the skeletons have been reported, the provenance of the individuals within the ...

Expert‐validated criteria for evaluating 2D anatomical images: Results of a Delphi consensus study
Abstract Currently, there are no consensus standards for the selection of two‐dimensional (2D) anatomical images that form the basis of anatomy education. The absence of standardized evaluation criteria may contribute to variability in image quality and inconsistencies in the educational use of anatomical visuals, potentially affecting students ...

Framing anatomical variation in anatomy textbooks: Language use and its implications
Text mining of anatomy textbooks shows “abnormal” is the most frequently used descriptor for anatomical variation, reinforcing a binary framing. We advocate for explicit teaching of variation as a spectrum, with consistent, neutral terminology and contextualization (prevalence and functional relevance) to support a more nuanced understanding of ...

Abstract Providing students with a way to honor human body donors during or after an anatomy course has been shown to help provide a sense of closure and comfort to students and, when present, donor families. Gestures of gratitude for donors can also emphasize humanistic values of respect, empathy, and professionalism.
