Board Review Series Neuroanatomy » (4th Edition)

Designed primarily for medical and dental students preparing for the USMLE Step 1 and other examinations, this book presents the essentials of human neuroanatomy in a succinct outline format with abundant illustrations. Over 600 USMLE-style questions with complete answers and explanations are included, some at the end of each chapter and some in an end-of-book Comprehensive Examination.

This edition uses color to delineate neuroanatomical pathways and highlight clinical correlations. New clinical MRI and MRA images have been added. Questions follow the clinical vignette-based format of the current USMLE.

Reviewer:Celso Agner, MD, MSc(University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)
Description:Neuroanatomy has progressed as a science as it incorporates radiological and anatomical concepts for a better understanding of clinical conditions, and most national board examinations reflect this.
Purpose:The purpose of this book is to address the new examination formats for the USMLE Step 1.
Audience:Medical students are the main audience. The author is an experienced writer on the topic and a credible authority in the field.
Features:Throughout 20 chapters, this book reflects the major needs of medical students -- a readily accessible neuroanatomy crash course with new graphics and pictures. This fourth edition offers the additional ability to access the text and questions online.
Assessment:Whether this new edition is necessary is debatable, since a lot of the concepts remain the same. However, if one wants to rely on one single source for studying neuroanatomy for the USMLE Step 1, this may be the source. The price is reasonable for students.
