 Good board review and a refresher for your course October 29, 2009

This is a good book if you know the material and just need to review the big pictures for the board exam. It will not do as a stand alone text for learning neuroanatomy, especially not in medical school, but is a great companion to the course.
 Perfect Companion for Any Neuroscience Course September 26, 2009

If you want hi-yield facts then this is the book for you. The book is clearly written. Useful for any graduate/undergraduate neuroanatomy text or for a medical school neuroscience course.

The USMLE has become increasingly focused on neuro over the past few years, and First Aid has become more and more inadequate with respect to neuro. This book is a great way to prepare for the neuro questions on Step 1. It's a slender book and is thus a very quick read --- heck, I'm a slow reader and finished it in 2.5 days. At the beginning of the book are several images of brain sections, with arrows pointing to the most important structures. The book also has radiologic images (MRA, MRI, CT) which were very helpful for me when I took Step 1 --- actually, I remember having 3 distinct questions with an accompanying MRA image. The book does a good job of explaining the basic function/organization of the different parts of the brain in a concise manner. There were a few sections that I thought were a little too detailed for Step 1 --- especially the cerebellum section. Overall, though, it's a wonderful book and it will help you to nail the neuro questions on the USMLE.
