 - Excellent must have for any clinical neuroanatomy courseThis book really did make the lecture material SUPER manageable. I agree with other raters' comments: this book is not going to teach it all and is not something to just sit and read, BUT used in conjunction with a course, it may be the only supplement you need (it was for most of my class). It is full of hints on memorization and logic and is a must have. I am getting ready to start my neuro rotation and it is going to be reviewed before-hand and will come with me. Rating: - UnparalleledA crucial tool for any clinician trying to understand the central nervous system. Simple, but not simplistic. Rating: - This book saved meThis is not the first book you should turn to if you're just starting neuroanatomy. However, after learning the material, this book helped consolidate everything in a helpful way so I could visualize everything in my head. Otherwise, my brain would have just been full of random facts that didn't connect very well, which makes it harder to memorize too. His diagrams are simple, but exactly what you want to explain the concept. He gives you tons of fun stories to memorize material as well. I also liked the clinical questions at the end of each section to test if I understood what I learned. I am completely amazed that the main points are all summarized so well in this tiny little book. He even has a CD to help you further, which I found to be excellent as well. I can't say enough about how helpful this book is. I highly recommend it for a med student to go along with your normal neuroanatomy texts. Rating: - FinallyI think I may finally understand aspects of neuroanatomy and localizing lesions that have for some reason previously seemed incomprehensible. Now I comprehend - and it was painless. Great help. Rating:  - decent but minimal contentThis book is probably great if you've never had much of an intro to neuroanatomy, and don't need too much information. If you're in an MD/PA/NP program, this book will be too superficial. Also, although this series does a great job of boiling information down, I don't find the paragraph style of writing (as opposed to summarized/bulleted main points) particularly easy to get through.
