NeuroTwister: Gamified learning to teach cross‐sectional neuroanatomy to medical students

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroscience is a required course in many health professions curricula, but with it often comes neurophobia, the fear or difficulty that students experience when attempting to learn neuroscience. Traditional teaching methods in neuroanatomy may contribute to cognitive overload and stress, reinforcing the notion that neuroanatomy is ...

SpartanAnatomy.org: Evaluating a new interactive neuroradiology tool for early medical education

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Teaching neuroanatomy through the lens of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers medical students a strong foundation for success. However, many existing MRI learning resources lack interactivity and user‐friendliness, require payment, or include an overwhelming number of labeled structures.

Modern competency‐based teaching of human sexual development

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Embryology is an integral part of anatomy and a key subject in basic medical education. The development of the sexual tract, which is closely associated with the formation of the urinary tract and the organs of continence, is particularly complex and relevant for many medical disciplines.

Immersive virtual reality as a teaching tool in neuroanatomy: A scoping review

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Basic core courses in various undergraduate programs, such as neuroanatomy, pose a challenge for students due to the large volume and complexity of the content. In this context, educational technologies such as immersive virtual reality (IVR), which allow students to actively interact with learning materials, offer a complementary pedagogical ...

Integrating yoga into anatomy and clinical medicine education: A holistic approach to learning

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Anatomical knowledge is fundamental for success in clinical settings. Unfortunately, anatomy education within professional health programs has experienced a continual decrease in contact hours and curricular content over the previous two decades, leading to deficits and potential gaps in anatomical science knowledge.

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

Cooperative learning in anatomy: Comparing virtual avatars and human specimens

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Contemporary research demonstrated that undergraduate medical students rated an augmented reality learning tool entitled “human muscular arm avatar” as useful for their self‐directed individual learning. Beyond this subjective assessment, it was largely unknown whether avatar‐based study would also improve knowledge test scores at an objective

Does the Extreme Male Brain Hypothesis of Autism Apply More to Females Than Males? A Systematic and Meta‐Analytic Approach

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The extreme male brain (EMB) hypothesis posits that autism risk is mediated by high systemizing and low empathizing. This hypothesis has accrued extensive support, but the degree to which it applies in females compared to males, and the relative extent to which autism is associated with empathizing compared to systemizing, is unclear ...

Altered Brain Structure in an ATRX‐Deficient Mouse Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mutations in the ATRX gene are a primary cause of alpha‐thalassemia intellectual disability X‐linked (ATRX) syndrome, which is characterized by intellectual disability, autism, and a range of brain structural abnormalities, including microcephaly.

The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase UBE3B Regulates Synaptic Development and Cortical Network Activity

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired communication, abnormal social interactions, and restricted, repetitive behaviors. Pathogenic mutations in UBE3B result in neurodevelopmental disease, including intellectual disability, lack of speech, and ASD.
