Veterinary studies are very demanding due to their specificity. They cover the theoretical part, which may be disappointing for students as overloaded with theoretical knowledge, as well as the clinical part, often raising fear in students of wrong and erroneous clinical procedures. The selection of appropriate methods and teaching tools cannot be based solely on content related knowledge of the subject or intuition, but should be verified by  pedagogical and psychological studies. Lately, a rapid increase in quality of teaching, student satisfaction level and their  motivation and the variety of ways how to obtain success in learning has been indicated, therefore many papers dealing with these topics have been published in top medical journals.
Knowledge about both teaching methods related to biology of learning and memory based on neurobiology may improve significantly the quality of teaching and make teaching and learning easier, more effective and also more enjoyable.
