White Matter Dissection: Lessons from the United Kingdom National Neuroanatomy Undergraduate Competition 2023.

ABSTRACT: Objective  This narrative highlights a student-led initiative that explored white matter dissection techniques within the framework of the National Undergraduate Neuroanatomy Competition 2023. Materials and Methods  The project aimed to enhance neuroanatomical education by developing a novel approach to dissection that deviates from the traditional Klingler's method. Instead, it incorporated contemporary techniques, including diffusion tensor imaging and other radiological tools, to ensure greater anatomical precision and enrich the learning experience. Results  The dissections focused on key white matter structures, such as the uncinate fasciculus and the inferior longitudinal fasciculus, and outlined a step-by-step methodology for creating high-quality specimens.
