Neuroanatomy is a core component of medical education yet may contribute to neurophobia, in part due to difficulty visualizing three-dimensional structures and applying foundational knowledge to clinical reasoning. Although active learning strategies such as flipped classrooms, case-based learning, and near-peer teaching are increasingly used to teach neuroanatomy, there is limited qualitative exploration describing how learners experience these modalities and how they support learning. This represents an important gap for educators designing learner-centered neuroanatomy instruction.
