	High-Yield Neuroanatomy (High-Yield Series) by: James D Fix publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2008-09-01 ISBN: 0781779464 sales rank: 3588 Product Description High-Yield Neuroanatomy, the best-selling book in the series, extracts the most important information on neuroanatomy and presents it in a concise, uncluttered fashion to prepare students for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). It is neuroanatomy "at its irreducible minimum" and is also used for course review. Review This book was awesome. Things are written well, organization was great, and the sections weren't wordy but had all the info you'd need (sometimes organized in graphs and things like that). High-Yield is thin (especially the older versions which are just as good) so it's not an "intimidating" read. I seriously had all of the info in High-Yield down (yeah, even the "minute" info because you never know what they'll ask - they asked the most rando obscure fact about the differences in the organisms causing meningitis for different age groups and High-Yield had it!), skimmed the full BRS for anything not included in High-Yield, and then took all the BRS questions, and ended up scoring in the 97% percentile for the boards. All the facts I remembered came from High-Yield - the only bad thing is that there weren't any practice questions and that's where the BRS came in handy. Definitely recommend buying it, but to ensure you're getting everything out of it, get a BRS to test yourself and to skim over any facts High-Yield might have omitted. I highly recommend this book,I didn't buy the newest version, but it still contain the essesnce high yield concept.Thin,so easy to carry.It's also great benefit for me . If you want to score high on the neuroanatomy section on Step 1, you need to own a copy of this book. Plain and simple.
	Neuroanatomy: An Atlas of Structures, Sections, and Systems (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) by: Duane E Haines publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2007-06-01 ISBN: 0781763282 sales rank: 7898 Product Description Now in its 25th year, this best-selling work is the only neuroanatomy atlas to integrate neuroanatomy and neurobiology with extensive clinical information. It combines full-color anatomical illustrations with over 200 MRI, CT, MRA, and MRV images to clearly demonstrate anatomical-clinical correlations. This edition contains many new MRI/CT images and is fully updated to conform to Terminologia Anatomica. Fifteen innovative new color illustrations correlate clinical images of lesions at strategic locations on pathways with corresponding deficits in Brown-Sequard syndrome, dystonia, Parkinson disease, and other conditions. The question-and-answer chapter contains over 235 review questions, many USMLE-style. Interactive Neuroanatomy, Version 3, an online component packaged with the atlas, contains new brain slice series, including coronal, axial, and sagittal slices. Review Great pictures, very good source for learning neuroanatomy. The online resource is extremely useful since you can quiz yourself to make sure you're learning all the structures. I didi't like this book. I wish it had color pictures instead of black and white. I never received this product and the seller did not take any responsibility or interest in that problem, so I am out $45 and a book that I needed for a medical school class. Disappointing.
	Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple (3rd Edition; Book & CD-ROM) by: Stephen Goldberg publisher: Medmaster, published: 2005-10-01 ISBN: 0940780577 sales rank: 6137 Product Description This now-classic text presents the most relevant points in clinical neuroanatomy with mnemonics, humor and case presentations. The book now includes and interactive CD with a lab section, 3D rotations, interactive anatomy, tutorial on neurologic localization, and quiz. Third edition. Review I have the old version without the CD-ROM. I read this as an intern before starting my neuro residency. It was a great review for me. I bet the CD-ROM would be really helpful too. Highly recommended for med students or those who need to review neuroanantomy. This is a great book for basic neuroanatomy but not much more. Not useful for anyone trying to study the psychiatric aspects of neuroanatomy but would be invaluable for the beginning neurology student. This book is PERFECT for anyone in the medical field who wants to shave off all the fat regarding clinical neuroanatomy. This book is meant to be used as a supplemental study tool and not as a primary source for information. For those overwhelmed by the extreme detail of scientific neuroanatomy, this book gives a simplistic overview of what is critical information as well as a guide of subjects to focus on when reading for detail with a primary source. Of the Made Ridiculously Simple books I have read, I think this one is the best (including the famous Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple). The schematics in the book are perfect diagrams for what to look at in actual CT/MRI cross and sagittal sections, more of which can be found on the CD-Rom While I do wish it had a little more details of the pathway circuits and neurotransmitters involved, the point of the book is to eliminate all of those details. It may not be comprehensive, but it comes very very close.
	Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases by: Hal Blumenfeld publisher: Sinauer Associates Inc, published: 2007-06-30 ISBN: 0878930019 sales rank: 82372 Product Description Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases brings a pioneering interactive approach to the teaching of neuroanatomy, using over 100 actual Clinical Cases and high-quality radiologic images to bring the subject to life. This approach allows students to appreciate the clinical relevance of structural details as they are being learned, and to integrate knowledge of disparate functional systems, since a single lesion may affect several different neural structures and pathways. Most of the book comprises chapters that explain the major neuroanatomical systems. Each chapter first presents background material including an overview of relevant neuroanatomical structures and pathways, and a brief discussion of related clinical disorders. The second half of each chapter is devoted to clinical cases. The cases begin with a narrative of how the patient developed symptoms, and what deficits were found upon neurological examination. Boldface type highlights important symptoms and signs. A series of questions challenges the reader to deduce the neuroanatomical location of the patient's lesion, and the diagnosis. Discussion and answers follow, and an epilogue reveals the actual outcome. One of the book's most innovative features is the inclusion of CT and MRI scans that depict each patient's lesion. These radiographs help the reader develop skills in interpreting the same kinds of diagnostic images employed in clinical practice. The book is intended primarily for first- or second-year medical students enrolled in a basic neuroanatomy, neurobiology or neuroscience course. It is also a valuable resource for advanced medical students and residents, as well as students of other health professions, notably physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, dentistry, speech therapy, and neuropsychology. Review when i received this book it was wrapped in the shrinkwrap, and then only in brown paper. there were several holes through the paper and plastic by the time it arrived. thankfully there was no damage to the book. The book arrived brand new wrapped in plastic and was much cheaper than other places I've checked. It also arrived within about 2 days which was great! I was very satisfied with the purchase. This is an excellent basic clinical neuroanatomy text. It is clear and simple to read with many nice figures and illustrations. For those already adept in neurology, a more in depth text and atlas may be desired.
	BRS Neuroanatomy (Board Review Series) by: James D Fix publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2007-10-01 ISBN: 0781772451 sales rank: 23925 Product Description Designed primarily for medical and dental students preparing for the USMLE Step 1 and other examinations, this book presents the essentials of human neuroanatomy in a succinct outline format with abundant illustrations. Over 600 USMLE-style questions with complete answers and explanations are included, some at the end of each chapter and some in an end-of-book Comprehensive Examination. This edition uses color to delineate neuroanatomical pathways and highlight clinical correlations. New clinical MRI and MRA images have been added. Questions follow the clinical vignette-based format of the current USMLE. A companion Website on thePoint offers instant access to the complete, fully searchable text and all questions from the book. Review The good thing about this book is that it helps u prepare a class in no time. I recommend the part of cranial nerves to the students since its easier to study than most books. BRS is usually the go-to review book among those in my class, so I naturally purchased this book to prep for the neuro NBME. When I received it, I was surprised that it was heavier than other BRS books I had. It does hit the high points, but it kind of drones with A LOT of details that could have been left out of the final book. It does do its job but could definitely be shorter. I only had time to use this review book the weekend before the board, so I did all of the questions and then read what I needed to brush up on. There were a LOT of miskeyed answers, and then some answers were just flat out wrong. Not a bad book, prepared me fairly well, but the process was frustrating because of all the mistakes.
	Sidman's Neuroanatomy: A Programmed Learning Tool (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) by: Douglas J Gould, Jennifer K Brueckner publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2007-11-01 ISBN: 0781765684 sales rank: 177296 Product Description Sidman's Neuroanatomy: 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. Accompanying the book is a multimedia component, containing an interactive question bank with fill-in-the-blank and figure labeling exercises, pop-up images, and hot spot identification questions as well as brand-new neuroanatomical animations. Review Some will criticize this book for being too basic. It's not. It builds from the basics to everything you need to know for medical school neuroanatomy. I normally like text formats over outline formats in my med school books, this book is neither. It has it's own unique, interactive format that I wish more books used. Then again, it would be too easy to learn to be a doctor if all med school books were written like this. Again, do not mistake simplicity for inadequacy. I'm now a first year resident and I have a tear in my eye as I sell this book. This is an EXCELLENT BOOK. It is priceless in terms of of how far it will take you. If you have to define it, its more like "pre-view, hammer-in the information, and review all-in-one" If you have time, preferrably a semester before neuroanatomy, spend 10 minutes a day and see how fruitful it will be 60 days later. Or you can go through it in a few weeks, its absolutely a pearl. I highly recomend it, I have never taken neuroanatomy and quite frankly was afraid of the subject matter, now I can't wait to work on it. Thumbs up, DO INVEST YOUR MONEY INTO THIS ONE. I got this at the suggestion of one of my professors, and it's really helpful. Working through it really does help you memorize neuroanatomy, with a minimum of suffering. Use pencil and you can erase your entries and go through it again, or re-sell it to another med student.
	Manter and Gatz's Essentials of Clinical Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology by: Sid Gilman, Sarah Winans Newman, John Tinkham Manter, Arthur John Gatz publisher: F. A. Davis Company, published: 2002-07-15 ISBN: 0803607725 sales rank: 49990 Product Description Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Clinically oriented overview of human neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, and neurophysiology. Features in updated edition include case studies and follow-ups of disease localization, pathology, and patient management and numerous MRIs illustrating structural relationship. Previous edition: c1996. Softcover. DNLM: Nervous System--anatomy & histology. Review I picked up this book as a recommendation and was pleased with that fact that its easy to understand. Its no Harry Potter but it really simplifies Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology. In many US medical schools, the didactic years are marked by an institution known as the Note Pool. Inasmuch as the prevailing motto is "Cooperate and Graduate," classes of medical students will join forces to systematically attack the task of assimilating the vast amount of factual information under which they're routinely buried. Because almost all lectures are taken in common (i.e., the first two years of med school jam everybody into the same classroom), it's possible for everyone to make use of the same notes. Enter the Note Pool. Like the doctors they'll become, medical students approach their work with different aptitudes, interests, and educational backgrounds -- and they specialize. If there are five lectures in biochemistry every week, the average class of med students is bound to have at least five members with a background (often at postgraduate level) in biochemistry, and there will be a volunteer for each lecture who will accept responsibility for concentrating attention on a particular day's presentation, bashing the material into cogency, and submitting it for photocopying and distribution to the entire class. Back in the days when we ran off our notes on a mimeograph machine, I was a sort of "utility infielder" for our Note Pool, filling in when people couldn't make it to class, handling the extra lectures that got shuffled into our schedules, and generally shouldering the extra work that came along. (Needless to say, I became a general practitioner.) Neuroanatomy was one of those one-trimester courses that "came along." I got stuck with both of the weekly lectures, and that leads us to a discussion of Manter and Gatz's Essentials of Clinical Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology. Bearing a double burden of lectures to cover (while also running the Note Pool's mimeograph machine), I had desperate need of a "cheat sheet" to help me get at the essentials of this subject, and I found it in a much earlier edition of this book. Lucid, economically written, and perpetually on-point, Manter and Gatz enabled me not only to educate myself in the essentials of human neuroanatomy but also to put the material in order for the rest of my med school class. The present edition (reviewed here) is BETTER than the book that saved our collective butt back in the days before Mangled Care, and I would recommend it not only to medical students and the FMGs striving to break into the bleak present practice environment but also to medical writers in need of an inexpensive, reliable, and accessible source of information on this extremely important subject. As the present electoral hoo-haw amply demonstrates, the vast majority of the population certainly doesn't make any effective USE of what they're carrying between their ears. This notwithstanding, the silly boogers do have central nervous systems, and it behooves those of us responsible for the medical care of these damned fools to know how those neurons and their supporting structures are organized. Manter and Gatz provides that much and more. ...The present edition (reviewed here) is BETTER than the book that saved our collective butt back in the days before Mangled Care, and I would recommend it not only to medical students and the FMGs striving to break into the bleak present practice environment but also to medical writers in need of an inexpensive, reliable, and accessible source of information on this extremely important subject...Manter and Gatz provides that much and more.
	Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases ISBN: 9780878930609 by: Hal Blumenfeld publisher: Sinauer Associates Inc, published: 2001-11-01 sales rank: 110895 Review
	Clinical Neuroanatomy by: Richard S Snell publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2009-01-01 ISBN: 0781794277 sales rank: 68978 Product Description Organized classically by system, this popular text gives medical and health professions students a complete, clinically oriented introduction to neuroanatomy. Each chapter begins with clear objectives, includes clinical cases, and ends with clinical notes, clinical problem-solving, and review questions. Hundreds of full-color illustrations, diagnostic images, and color photographs enhance the text. This Seventh Edition features new information relating the different parts of the skull to the brain areas, expanded coverage of brain development and neuroplasticity, and updated information on stem cell research. The artwork has been greatly improved. New Clinical Problems have been added, and updated Clinical Notes incorporate recent advances resulting from war veterans' head injuries and treatment. A companion Website includes the fully searchable text and 454 USMLE-style review questions with answers and explanations. Review Comprehension of neuroanatomy and neurobiology are the most difficult tasks I had to face. The complex structures of the brain and spinal cord, their tracts and pathways are an enormous ammount of knowledge that have to be presented to a student withought the unnecessary complexity other books present. This book has really made it simpler for me and gave me the understanding I needed to excell this subject. Although the embryology part wasn't enough for my course, the rest of the book was exceptional! I want to thank the author for this book and for the great work he had put in it.. It is worth at least 5 stars ! The diagrams and text seem disjointed. I grew weary after having to turn several pages before finding the diagrams referred to in the text. And after all of that flipping around for the diagrams, the diagrams themselves leave lots to be desired. This title is the required text for my neuroanatomy class, so I'm keeping it, but will look into others to supplement my studies. I'm in the middle of MS-II neuro and the 5th Ed, NOT the 4th, compares favorably with the popular Blumenfled text. I like Snell better because the images are a little simpler and it is more condensed. Clinical correlations at the end of each chapter are good and the questions are great. See what you think at the library first. Enjoi
	Liebman's Neuroanatomy Made Easy And Understandable by: S. David Gertz publisher: Pro-Ed, published: 2006-10-06 ISBN: 1416401636 sales rank: 105962 Product Description Liebman's Neuroanatomy Made Easy and Understandable is an essential resource for students and professionals. The author leaves out extraneous theories and unnecessary details. Only the basics of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, physical diagnosis, and neurology remain. The subject matter is presented in a simple and personal style. This straightforward approach makes the book much easier to read and absorb than more convoluted neuroanatomy texts. This impressive work, now in its seventh edition, includes updated chapters and appendixes, and some new material: Chapter 12 has a newly added figure that summarizes the general plan of the autonomic nervous system, with extra attention paid to the area of the head; Chapter 13 includes a new original drawing that clarifies and summarizes the origin and destination of fiber types that pass through the ciliary ganglion; and Chapter 23, has a significant amount of new material related to pathologic conditions of the central nervous system. Also, a new chapter has been added that discusses Fragile-X syndrome, Autism, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Whether used as a textbook, review aid, or professional reference, Liebman's Neuroanatomy Made Easy and Understandable serves students well throughout their medical or allied health education.
