Enhancing Neuroanatomy
Learning Through 3D Drawing 


 

Ongoing research in the Build-A-Brain lab is aiming to enhance undergraduate learning of neuroanatomy through drawing.  The lab is running experiments aiming to show significant differences in learning outcomes when drawing and tracing neuroanatomical structures.  

Learning Neuroanatomy through Neural Connectivity

Research being conducted in the Build A Brain Lab is focusing on enhancing learning through the emphasis of white matter tracts.  By visualizing how gray matter structures are connected, students will be able to more effectively retain neuroanatomy.
