This is a short, highly illustrated textbook of neuroanatomy that students love One of the leading titles in the popular Illustrated Colour Text series, the relevance of the anatomy to clinical neurology is made clear throughout. It avoids overburdening the reader with detail that is unnecessary for the medical student and minimum assumptions are made of existing knowledge of the subject.Key point boxes for reinforcement and quick revision.Glossary of important terms Clinical detail boxes closely integrated with relevant neuroanatomy.Several chapters slightly expanded (eg Autonomic Nervous System) to achieve a better balance.Increased content of common neurological conditions with rather less on some of the uncommon. Improvements to line drawings to increase clarity.Some colour photographs replaced with better examples.
I am a TCM student. I used this book as a supplement text for my Neurology class. The text was unremarkable but succinct. The pictures, especially the live cadaver pictures, were wonderful. I had been struggling with the idea of the Circle of Willis through three other texts, 5 diagrams, and two classes. One actual picture from this book made the structure understandable and real.
Great review text, concise and informative.

This ICT Neuroanatomy text is a must-have for medical students and others learning neuroanatomy. The brevity of the chapters and the great diagrams make studying neuroanatomy straightforward while still being very comprehensive. I strongly recommend this text as a supplement to another neuroscience text (sadly, there are not many good ones out there), and think it complements any study of neurobiology well. The text is in-depth enough to include all of the important details while not being so dense as to be overwhelming and/or boring. This is a great book and should serve its readers well.
Amazing Neuro Step 1 Prep for Medical Students

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!
A must have for neuroanatomy!

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.
Strongly recommened!

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!
