5.0 out of 5 stars Why didn't I get this earlier?, September 22, 2005

By	M. Cristobal (Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had to struggle with neuroanatomy in my first year. To make things worse, some of the lecturers weren't exactly stellar. If I'd had this book earlier, I could have done way better in my tests. The organization of the book is logical, and the content is rich in that the important facts (i.e., those that are often asked in tests!) are summarized in an easy-to-read format. I've purchased all the USMLE Road Map books that have been released to date, and I have to say that this one stands out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally got Neuro, November 26, 2004

By	dp - See all my reviews

I wish I had this book during Neuro in school- after reading it, I understand the awful tracts and lesions for the first time along with the basal ganglia and cerebellum. The visual defects section is amazing. I found out about this book after hearing Dr. White teach for Kaplan. A must buy to get through Step 1 Neuro questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Step 1 Neuro Review, January 14, 2008

By	fozidog (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Neuro was not my best subject in first year. This is a great review and helped me understand a few key concepts that I didn't learn during first year. If you spend half a day skimming through this book reading the blue boxes and LOOKING AT THE DRAWINGS you will be well prepared for the questions on the exam.
