Gender preference between traditional and PowerPoint methods of teaching gross anatomy.

Introduction: Teaching and learning process is increasingly metamorphosing from the traditional chalk and talk to the modern dynamism in the information and communication technology. Medical education is no exception to this dynamism more especially in the teaching of gross anatomy, which serves as one of the bases of understanding the human structure.

In this review, we briefly describe the concept of neuronal networks and highlight 2 methods used to analyse such networks.
