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

By 

Catarina (Canada) - See all my reviews

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!
