The study of the human nervous system presents a unique challenge to medical students. Unlike other anatomical disciplines where structures can be easily visualized through dissection, much of neuroanatomy relies on understanding deep-seated structures and invisible pathways. Traditional textbooks often approach this subject with comprehensive rigor, presenting a daunting volume of facts. This approach frequently leads to cognitive overload, where the student is unable to see the "forest for the trees." The next day, Maya aced her oral exam

Unlike other anatomical disciplines where structures can be
