Neuroanatomy particularly benefits from tactile and spatial learning tools due to its complexity. The study evaluates the relevance of four enlarged neuroanatomical models showcased in the museum of King George\u2019s Medical University (UP), Lucknow, India, in neurosurgical training and procedural planning.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A descriptive cross-sectional study involving 40 neurosurgeons from multiple institutions was conducted. A structured questionnaire was used to assess the perceived utility of museum-preserved models of the cerebral hemisphere, brain ventricles, brainstem with the circle of Willis, and spinal cord within the vertebral canal.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Of 40 participants, 95% considered the models educationally valuable, and 88% affirmed their practical relevance in surgical planning. The brainstem and circle of Willis model received the highest utility rating (98%), followed by the brain ventricles (95%), cerebral hemisphere (90%), and spinal cord (85%).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Museum neuroanatomical models continue to play an essential role in neurosurgical training and planning. These models offer unique tactile and spatial orientation benefits, and their mandatory integration into medical practice will be the convivial incorporation for successful outcomes of the treated patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_928_2025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,24]],"date-time":"2025-10-24T11:37:56Z","timestamp":1761305876000},"page":"439","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The relevance of museum 3D neuroanatomical models in contemporary neurosurgical practice"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Noor us","family":"Saba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, King George\u2019s Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohd","family":"Faheem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, King George\u2019s Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pratibha","family":"Shakya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, King George\u2019s Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heena","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, King George\u2019s Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Navneet","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, King George\u2019s Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_928_2025\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"173","DOI":"10.1007\/s00276-007-0180-x","article-title":"Do we need dissection in an integrated problem-based learning medical course?
