Directed at college level, but has something for even younger learners.

September 9, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I am using portions of this book for a masters level Social Work "Cognition and the Brain" class. This 301 page book is great to give you a visual of brain sections, and it does provide alphabet keys to specific sections of the brain in each image. When you open the book you get text on the left of each page, and an accompanying image on the right to color. The first image I am adding is a more advanced coloring page, and the second is of the full-page accompanying text. As you are learning, it tells you to color a specific section of the image, but it would have been more helpful if it provided guidance on coloring sections so that it flowed throughout all related picture, to help the student understand pathways, processes, etc. There are detailed instructions provided with each picture to color, however the level of text is beyond the average high school student. While many of the pictures will help even youngsters gain knowledge of brain parts, etc. the cover image is misleading as to the level of knowledge required to actually read the book to learn about the brain. This book is definitely directed to the college level student, not children. That being said, the cover image gives a good representation of how the images themselves work, so if a elementary/middle school/high school teacher used it for images only and not text, it would provide some great pages for all age learners. The cover gives a false impression as to the level of text, how many images there are (again, a 301 page book, slightly less than half are pictures), and the scope knowledge the book actually covers. All this said, this book has great use for everyone, but not all pages will be useful for everyone.

Med student reviews coloring book

October 26, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I am a medical student taking my neuro block. I'm one exam in and pretty pleased with my purchase. Loads of clear, useful images. This book has been very useful in learning pathways and cross-sections. It certainly doesn't have much clinical correlation info, but that's easy to add in to corresponding pages.

This book is 1000x more engaging than any neuro textbook out there. This book also seems to highlight the same things that end up being important for exams, which can be difficult.

Worth every penny.

Note- there are a few mistakes like a label line that doesn't quite extend far enough, but overall I've found the information to be correct.

While really fun, I was hoping to solidify my understanding of brain anatomy. The idea behind the book is to do this by coloring each part of the brain the same color in various images from different perspectives (i.e. the medulla from a lateral view and also from a ventral view.) Problem is, the instructions aren't always clear. I'm reasonably knowledgeable about neuroanatomy, but not a neurologist or neuroscientist so maybe if I knew more about it, the instructions would make more sense. Of course, then I wouldn't need the book. There are some fairly comprehensive summaries accompanying the pictures as well.

Useful for learning or reviewing neuroanatomy

February 8, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a useful text for learning or review. The process of drawing and coloring does help in hooking up and remembering the various systems. However, after working through about 1/3 of the plates, I went into memory overload. Even with my ever expanding list of terms and definitions, progress slowed and became more tedious, as I would need constantly to refer back to make sense of new material. At this point I purchased Sidman's Neuroanatomy text. By using the two books simultaneously, or as needed, I started progressing rapidly again with much better comprehension. The Diamond text is a more complex compendium of structures. I started out with 20-68 Stabilo pens, but soon found out that I didn't have enough gradations of light colors; darker shades obscured stuctures. The Stabilo 68s are reasonably priced and don't bleed thru the paper; you just need to get enough of them.

gorgeous book with very detailed drawings

March 3, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I'm learning so much neuroanatomy through this book! The paper is thick and they cover not just the brain but the CNS and parts of the ANS (like the vagus nerve and other cranial nerves). I've always been tripped up by all the nuclei neuroanatomy (globus pallidus internal / globus pallidus external etc etc) but this book makes me want to color my way through medical school

Great for structural Neuroscience review

October 6, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Love it. The information presented in this book ranges from what you see on the front cover, the 4 basic lobes and entry level material that is at a middle school content level, to plates that would be useful for a practitioner to review. That being said, the material presented goes from simple to complex in a very straightforward and well thought out manner. Personally, I would prefer that each area you are to color was given a specific color associated with it (as you get to choose which colors go where) but overall I am highly satisfied with my purchase - BUT for some the material may be difficult. If you are in a Neuro program (BA,BS,MS,MA,PhD,MD) looking for a fun way to review structure, do it.

A great study guide!

April 10, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Long explanation cut short: I'm a neuropsychology major. I bought this book to help me study through some neuroanatomy exams and it made studying the brain a bit more fun. I love that each page has an explanation of the parts you're coloring on that page. It's also just good practice to get hands on when you're studying. I found coloring the individual parts of the brain a really helpful tool and a lot more fun than simply staring at images.

January 2, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Wanted to get some help remembering the names and locations of various brain and spinal column parts. This coloring book is incredibly detailed--maybe too much so unless you are in med school. For a college level A&P course, it's a little over-kill. But those pages that I did use, it did help with the memorization.
