Customer Reviews

Good book with the necessities

I like this book because it have very helpful images. Sometimes the images are a little cluttered but overall, there are enough images, and the structures are represented multiple times from different sagital, coronal, and horizontal cuts that it makes learning the anatomy of the brain pretty straight forward. I used a computer 3D program to learn from at first, and it was not nearly as productive as using the book. I would definitely recommend this book. The only thing I didn't like about the book is the organization of some of the nerve tracts. At first, I didn't even know the nerve tracts were depicted until I stumbled upon them by accident (damn near the back of the book).

Excellent text for study of structures

This text has plenty of detailed photographs with corresponding images of MRI results to aid in identification of structures and understanding of MRI images. Excellent text for beginning studies of Neuroanatomy. Accompaning website provides access to labeled and unlabeled images to assist in study and testing techniques.

Neuroanatomy a big deal for USMLE step 1

It is a well done book for preparing USMLE step 1. In addition, there are questions like the USMLE test that can help the student to pass it. I also recommend it for neurologists and neuroradiologists, because there are a lot of CT and MRI scans!

Great book

This book helped me out so much in my neurobiology class. I would definitely suggest it as a great reference for anyone taking an upper level neuro class who needs great pictures and drawings of the "tracts."

Great for a review for a person with established knowledge

This is a great book if you already have had teaching and review in neuroscience (usually 1st year of medical school). Use this book only for review and ongoing learning. If you don't have a basis in neuroscience, this text is a little thin on basic information
