Approach

Neuroanatomy is one of the most challenging anatomy subjects for students of medical sciences. Students reported struggling with somatosensory pathways the most (Javaid et al., 2017), likely due to the difficulty of visualizing this subject matter and lack of effective study materials. This project objective was to go beyond any existing or conventional visual explanations to create a clear illustration for educational purposes.
