For USMLE Step 1, it is a good resource for a functional approach to neurology and its concise length prevents it from being too daunting.”  “… this book is very clear and readable... Highly recommended.” med school. The chapters are well

 “This is an atlas with brain cuts in every way you would need along with X rays and other brain imaging. This was one of the few books this year that I have actually found very useful. It would be very hard to learn neuroanatomy lab without a good atlas so I highly recommend this book if you are taking a neuro lab course.”  “Great neuroanatomy book! Absolute need for neuro unit! I consulted it throughout the entire med school neuroscience course. Highly recommended!!”

 “It is a terrific book of neuroscience. Other textbooks on market are either too brief on neurophysiology or dwell too much on the field biochemistry. The best thing about this book is that it touches on every aspects of neurology comprehensively and specifically catered for medical students. The arrangement is coherent and it is easy to follow the flow of the book, which explained each part of the nervous system by its afferent and efferent connections. Diagrams are adequate and the pathways are vividly illustrated.”  “This is a spectacular textbook. It is very well written and very easy to understand...”

 “I think this book is great to use as a start when learning neuroanatomy. If more in depth knowledge is required other books will be needed, but this is excellent to start with. Highly recommend this.”  “This book is very good as the first start of medical student as it contains enough information for the basics of anatomy of the CNS. When I want to review brain anatomy I always return to it as it

 “This book presents neuroscience from an anatomical perspective. It is clear and concise and is appropriate for all levels of learners. The anatomical perspective of photographs and charts learners while the text provides wonderful in- depth descriptions of all pertinent structures.”  “Found it very useful in preparing for neurosurgical trainees and those needing to learn neuroanatomy.”  “This was a required textbook for my Neuroscience courses in chiropractic school, and it suited me very well (I'd say even better than the other required textbook).” provides a level of clarity for all visual fellowship exams. Recommend to all

 “…The title says it’s a review but it is in fact an excellent textbook of around 400 pages. The book is well organized and the highlight of this book are the Illustrations. The illustrations are very explanatory and pleasing. The text is written with a clinical orientation and is easy to follow. The chapters are discussed with a physiological approach... There are a few teaching boxes which I loved, the one on decerebrate and decorticate posturing, really well explained. There are a few questions at the end of each chapter which one may use for review…”

 “Made the mistake of attempting to use this as a primary resource to review class material. This requires a solid basic understanding of neuro to use. The questions were great review for class materials before exams. I anticipate this will be useful for USMLE Step 1 review, just not as useful DURING a first pass at neuroanatomy.”  “The new edition is light years ahead of the prior and has a boat load of questions. Of the other "review" style books, this is my favorite for explanations and great illustrations.”

 “…the book is a great book and I use it all the time in my Neuroscience class in Medical school. The questions are hard but explanations are great. I would recommend this book!”  “A monotonous subject like neurology can be made interesting by clinical scenarios. The answers are very comprehensive. A good book before the exam.”  “…a very essential supplement for medical students…during school to really nail down the concepts. If you learn by testing yourself this is a good book. The answers are detailed.” it helps with the learning and the
