The brain on expert medical performance: a systematic review and activation likelihood estimation functional magentic resonance imaging meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Healthcare systems require the efficient development of expert performance. Several studies have explored the cognitive foundations of medical expert performance, especially in radiology. Studying at the brain level could provide further insight into specific mechanisms mediating medical expert performance. Researchers have recently begun to systematically employ neuroimaging in this field. Most studies focus on specific specializations rather than identifying shared neural substrates across disciplines. This systematic review and activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. A total of 297 studies examining neural correlates were identified by comparing expert and novice medical per
