Using Crochet to Teach Embryonic Lateral Folding

Teaching embryology - the study of embryos and their development - to medical students sets the foundation for understanding anatomy, as well as development and disease. A particularly challenging lesson to teach within embryology is embryonic lateral folding. Sarah McConnell, Ph.D., assistant professor in Neuroscience, at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester developed this unique hands-on activity using crochet to teach this lesson.
