Neurology faces teaching difficulties in many medical schools. Among active methodologies, Team-Based Learning helps to develop competencies such as problem-solving and group communication. We proposed developing, applying and evaluating the first neurology course based on this method in Brazil by using the TBL active Software. Sixty-three first-year medical students participated in the course, and when answering a final course-evaluation questionnaire containing 29 items, they considered the experience valid for neurology teaching. The Team-Based Learning method was well received by students even in the face of low test (low-test) performance as revealed by their final grade averages. Team-Based Learning, applied in a medical course and using technological resources, such as the TBL active software, proved to be an additional tool in favor of neurology teaching.
