Abstract

The aim of this work is to access the exposure methods of neuroanatomy used in YouTube-shared videos, their impact and acceptance by users, by a quantitative, descriptive and analytic research. Research was undertaken in YouTube with keywords “telencephalon”, “diencephalon” and “brainstem”. Videos were categorized according to the exposure method of the neuroanatomic contents, such as multimedia equipments (ME), plastic parts (PPT), plastinated parts (PPN), and cadaver pieces in formaldehyde (PCF), to evaluate the number of visualizations and acceptance by the users (number of likes and dislikes). The exposure method based on PPT was the most used one in neuroanatomy videos. However, ME videos had more daily visualizations and greater acceptance by the Youtube users. Results suggest that neuroanatomy videos with ME may contribute in a complementary manner towards the teaching-learning of these contents.
