Neuroanatomy: A Programmed Text

Rating:
Summary: The number 1 book for neuroanatomy
Review: Im amazed that this book came out in the 60's. I was really impressed with how timely the information is, and how easy it is to learn. Its repetitive nature of filling in the blanks really fit my learning style well. I highly recommend this book to anyone working with neuroanatomy (MRI, PET) applications. The only drawback is that about halfway through the text there is no way to check your answers-maybe its a space consideration.

Review: when my college roommmate (now at yale med) recommended this book w/it's 1965 copyright, i was real skeptical about its worth. this a workbook, and in a dorky way, it's a lot of fun. for example, the first question might read: "the ___ fissure separates the temporal lobe from the rest of the cortex above", -turn the page-, "sylvian," <turn the page>, next question: picture of the brain with a line drawn toward a fissure above the temporal lobe requesting a label, -turn the page-, voila! "sylvian fissure." it's a real gentle way to learn neuroanatomy, so through writing and repetition you really drum the info into your head. as my roommate said, you can do it watching tv. all my old college buddies at harvard med new pathway had sidman & sidman for 'summer hmwk'. do it over the summer, and i promise you'll knock the socks off of neuroanatomy lab. yeah, the drawings are ghetto, but it works. (c) 1965? pshah - it's so good that it's on its 13th printing. no wonder.
