NEUROANATOMY: AN ILLUSTRATED COLOR TEXT is a concise, highly illustrated textbook of neuroanatomy that throughout makes clear the relevance of anatomy to clinical neurology. It avoids overburdening the reader with topographical detail that is unnecessary for the medical student. Minimum assumptions are made of existing knowledge of the subject.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This neuroanatomy book is a must have when studying a neurology module. Its illustrations and diagrams are a great help in understanding a somewhat complex topic. It's coherently written and pitched at the right level, which makes it an easy read and light work on the eyes when cramming! It's difficult to pick out a best chapter, as all are extremely good and highly relevant.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for neuroanatomy!, February 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Neuroanatomy: An Illustrated Colour Text (Paperback)

This book got me through neuro. It has just enough info to explain what you need to know without going into needless details. The pictures are very clear (and in color) and there are some very good clinical examples given. Out of any of the neuro books I came across, this is the best one hands down for any medical student trying to grasp neuroanatomy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Neuro Step 1 Prep for Medical Students, April 25, 2006

This review is from: Neuroanatomy: An Illustrated Colour Text with STUDENT CONSULT Access (Paperback)

Although this book is British, so they don't have the exact same certification tests, etc., this book is the most amazing, concise, yet thorough treatment of medical neuro. It includes real photographs, stained sections, a few angiograms, and lots of great clinical syndrome summaries in a clear format. I wish my profs just used this for our course; their notes were terrible!

5.0 out of 5 stars Strongly recommened!, April 25, 2000

This review is from: Neuroanatomy: An Illustrated Colour Text (Paperback)

I strongly recommend this text. It is detailed enough as a PRIMARY source for test or exam review; yet every topic well-explained to make neuroanatomy much more "manageable". Plus they get great pictures too!
