great atlas of the brainstem

[Daryl ONeal · Rating 3 out of 5]

The ebook needs work

The Kindle version of this text is not an easy read; there are a fair amount of formatting issues. As a reference text, its been pretty useful for medical neuroscience and head & neck anatomy.

[Sophie Rapp · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book has brought me pain and suffering enough to put it on my gr. Hate it here fr

[Carolyn · Rating 2 out of 5]

Somewhat dated anatomical/physiological neuroscience fusion text. Beautiful, precise illustrations not mottled by modern 3D rendering as is common practice of current scientific illustrators. This edition (of course) lacks 20 years worth of neuroscience research. Thus, it's not worth much aside from its use as a structural atlas of the brain.

[Cadel · Rating 4 out of 5]

A relatively easy read that presents information in an understandable way.

Bane of my existence, but pretty damn good all the same.
