Now significantly revised based on student feedback, this best-selling text provides a quick, authoritative review of the most important clinical aspects of neuroanatomy. A new, full-color design highlights the essential information you need to know to excel on course exams and the USMLE Step 1. New objectives begin every chapter, contents have been reorganized and streamlined, and all information has been completely updated. A new Gross Structure chapter lays the foundation for understanding the sectional anatomy in the Atlas chapter, and all terminology is now consistent with Terminologia Anatomica. A companion website offers USMLE-style questions for study and review.
I originally bought this book upon reading that the Step 1 would contain a significant amount of Neuroanatomy. This book goes in too much detail for the Step 1 and in hindsight, the Step 1 does not contain a significant amount of neuroanatomy.
The book and photos look great, but unless you already have a reasonable level of knowledge in neuroanatomy, you won't find this book easy to read or understand. Read this if you want to be a neurosurgeon, radiologist, pathologist or neurologist. Otherwise, I really don't think this book is necessary for your average medical student.
