MANUSCRIPT: Tackling student neurophobia in neurosciences block with team-based learning

INTRODUCTION: Traditionally, neurosciences is perceived as a difficult course in undergraduate medical education with literature suggesting use of the term "Neurophobia" (fear of neurology among medical students).
