Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple: Color Edition

I am a current medical student and ordered this book to assist me through some neuroanatomy/neuroophthalmology courses. This book does a great job of providing an easy to read and well laid out explanation of the different structures and functions in the nervous system. Of course, this book does not cover every detail, so it is a good idea to cross reference your textbooks, etc to further understand the subject matter. However, I think this book aids in building a strong foundation in a subject that can be rather complex and challenging. The only thing that I noticed that was a “problem/flaw” was that one of the pages had some printing that appeared smudged or streaked. Thankfully it is still readable and really does not take away from the experience.

love these books. Well thought out and easy to understand. Got this one for my teen for her AP Psych class. it was very helpful.

I used this book to help me out with a neuroanatomy postgrad course, with no prior background in the subject. A few of the concepts were simple enough to understand without background knowledge, but for the most part it worked best to read the course text, listen to the lectures, then read the relevant material here to get a nice simplified breakdown, then go to Ackland's (over and over). This was not a 'for dummies' type book but did help me to pass and fills the giant void of simplified neuro texts. I didn't use the extra cd but heard from other students that it was quite useful. I'd like to give it 4 stars, since it's by no means a perfect breakdown, but need to give 5 because it's really the only one of its kind.

This is not a layman’s guide. This is very technical it was To technical

I love this book. I am a clinical phase physician assistant student rotating in vascular neurology. This was a great reference for quick facts and recall. It’s not a large book, so it obviously isn’t in extensive detail about everything but it has a good background. Neurology is a high level concept and is difficult to teach yourself from a book. I think Goldberg did a great job, especially in this edition.

So I stink at visualization and taking neuroanatomy has been a lesson in humility. I've tried websites and at least four other books to help my brain do a little better because I pretty much expect A's of myself. This book was the first one to REALLY make things stick and simple enough that I could build on. I showed it to a classmate and she loved it enough to buy a copy for herself. It's not going to fill in all the gory details, but this will get you a great start and break it down into terms easy enough for a layperson.

Excellent quality of paper and color, and the content of the book is amazing!

This book is incredibly digestible and simplified a lot of concepts I was struggling with. The only thing I would note is that some small details may be different from your assigned text.

O CD veio sem funcionar, muito chato isso. O livro é ótimo, mas isso do CD foi decepcionante. Isso é tudo.

I like that this book doesn't waste too much time on basics. It is a great supplement to my med school materials. The best part is the pages of possible lesions and their presentations at the back of the book. I have been told by our school instructors that if you know all those lesions, you really know all the possible ones that you could be examined on.

Donde está el CD que dice que trae para que sea " interactivo" ? estoy sorprendida de que no trae lo que anuncia . Espero respuestas

Excellent book!

Comming from a guy who finished his B.A. in psychology, this book is amazing for review and explicits some clear details about subjects seen in class already. The humor and easiness to read is really appreciated. Definately recommend for review or for people who are not familiar with neuroanatomy.
