by Jennifer K. Brueckner Douglas J. Gould, Jennifer K. Brueckner

Sidman's A Programmed Learning Tool, Second Edition is an innovative combined neuroanatomy text and review that covers the structure of the entire nervous system. Its unique programmed learning approach allows students to easily retain information and learn at their own pace by slowly building on previously learned concepts throughout each chapter.The programmed learning approach introduces new information and reviews previously learned information by presenting it in new contexts, calling attention to important details and illustrating steps in a reasoning process. This learning method adds to and reinforces the student's understanding and retention of neuroanatomical knowledge.This edition features updated illustrations, a systems-based organization, and new concepts on the cerebellum, extrapyramidal pathways, special sensory pathways, diencephalon, ventricular system, and vascular anatomy. Terminology has been updated to conform to Terminologia Anatomica .

Probably the best, most comprehensive way to learn neuroanatomy. The illustrations are given in every way possible for the user to imagine the anatomy.
What's perfect about it is that it's an interactive tool, you get to learn by filling in gaps after figuring out what the answers are. It's stepwise approach from intuitive to complex helps build your knowledge easily and smoothly.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in the neurosciences.

A good book for learning neuroanatomy through a more active approach by testing yourself. However, the vast majority of the questions were 'fill in the blank' style which became a little repetetive. I would have liked to have seen more open ended questions.
