Structure of the Human Brain: A Photographic Atlas

If all you need is photographs of brain sections and their interpretations, this book offers a very good selection. There are no MRI's or CAT scans.

Not that brains have changed so much; but, since 1976, there are many new technologies that eclipse this book. If you are in medical school, you can use it, mark in it with crayons, whatever.... For the price, it's useful, but you would need a text book to go along with it. NOTE: 1976!

I absolutely love this atlas! It is a pretty simple black and white atlas with a drawing/ labeled figure on one page with a corresponding unlabeled photo on the adjacent page. This is great because not only do you see things in a conceptual and practical way, but you have the freedoms to color and/ or label the pages in a way that helps you. Also, this atlas was very high yield for the stuff we saw in the practical portion of our neuro course.

Great atlas. Includes photographs of lots of different sections alongside very detailed labeled sketches for maximum ease of identification. If I had any complaints based on my own personal use it would be that some slices are actually labeled in too much detail for me to easily find the structures I'm looking for, but I can't really say that being too thorough is a fault.

I was one of two students to use this for preparation for neuroanatomy at my medical school. I'm amazed how much I could retain by annotating this neuroanatomy book with functional anatomy lessions.

I bought this for use in medical neuroanatomy, which I was pretty frightened about taking. I found it to be a really helpful resource; I liked that each view had both an anatomical photo and line drawing for easy identification, as well as multiple views of vasculature, etc. I labeled this up like crazy, and it worked very well for me.

It's awkwardly large to be lugging it to and from class, but large is what atlases are. At this size, it could be more sturdily made, but the price would increase. There was also a mini struggle bus involved in navigating and flipping the pages. For one semester, I could deal with this old-looking, flimsy book.

This book helped me pass my neuroanatomy practical. Flipbook makes it perfect for when you are in the lab. The different horizontal and coronal sections makes it easy to identify any structure that your professor throws at you!

Perfect for my daughter studying Masters Degree in Clinical and Health Psychology
