How do anatomy instructors neurally organize anatomical knowledge? How does it compare to their undergraduate students’ organization? Using fMRI, we examined the neural activation patterns of expert anatomists and undergraduate anatomy students while completing an anatomy semantic task. In this talk, the outcomes of this study will be discussed then be examined in the context of curriculum and anatomical education. Support or Funding Information None.
