I recently bought 6 different packs of science flash cards. I was disappointed with most of them because they were essentially nothing but English-style questions on one side and answers on the other. I could do that myself, using index cards!

What I was looking for were flash cards with diagrams, where structures are pointed to with numbered arrows and you have to come up with the term that identifies it: with the answers on the back side of the card. That I cannot do myself. And that is what these flash cards are! The images - which are in color - are excellent too, and cover the topic of neuroscience in great detail.

The cards are flimsy and cheap, and the info gets way too detailed at times, but the info on the back of the cards reinforces a number of very important concepts in a very concise manner.

I didn't find these cards very useful. I had difficulty finding cards that were relevant to what I was studying and when I did they went in too much detail. Very basic Neuroscience information is left out. May be good for someone taking Neuroanatomy or a medical student. I let someone else in Neuroscience borrow the cards to help them study for his oral exam and he didn't find them useful either.

If they were called "Netter's Neuroanatomy Flash Cards", they would deserve a 5-star rating.

These flashcards cover everything you need to know about neuroscience as a med student. My major complaint about them and the reason I gave 3 stars instead of 4 is that perhaps they were a little too comprehensive. There were several topics on the cards that were not covered in my preclinical med school curriculum. The cards also had a LOT of text on them, which was helpful in the sense that there was a lot of useful information but at the same time kind of overwhelming because there was so much text (I'm talking a paragraph or 2, not a couple sentences on the back). I did not get the corresponding textbook so I have no idea how they correlate. I'm also still a preclinical student, so I have no idea how useful it would be studying for a neurology rotation.

This product was definately helpful. I should of gotten it weeks ago to prepare me for my neuro exam but I did ok. For on-the-go studying, flashcards are a GOD sent!

I am a Complimentary Practicioner and I have found these cards extremely useful. I use them a little differently than most who have them would, but they have been invaluable. Netters paintings and discriptions are far superiour to most other Anatomy and Physiology products and books.

These flash cards cover ALL necessary topics! The pictures are clear and easy to understand.
