Summary:
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. "Doody's Core Titles 2009."

Good book with the necessities
Customer Rating:
I like this book because it have very helpful images. Sometimes the images are a little cluttered but overall, there are enough images, and the structures are represented multiple times from different sagital, coronal, and horizontal cuts that it makes learning the anatomy of the brain pretty straight forward.
I used a computer 3D program to learn from at first, and it was not nearly as productive as using the book.
If you are a student at the University of Kansas Medical School, this book comes in very, very handy because they use some very similar images on the computer based tests.
I would definitely recommend this book.
The only thing I didn't like about the book is the organization of some of the nerve tracts.
It has very useful images which are not easy to find elsewhere
Customer Rating:
This book is quite distinct from other books we used for neurology. Many of the images from this book are not schematics; rather, it uses real MRI or histological sections. In addition, it has some very good schematic diagrams as well.
I found the coronal and horizontal sections to be especially useful, because they come with the real images + real images schematized with lines.
They also provide an online website code in the book, which allows you to look at everything in the book on the website. This is especially useful for the sake of compiling notes on your computer... I would imagine that professors teaching neuroanatomy would find these images very useful as well.
neuroanatomy atlas review
Customer Rating:
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.
Would not recommend it
Customer Rating:
I didi't like this book. I wish it had color pictures instead of black and white.
never arrived.
Customer Rating:
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.
