This review refers to a previous edition of this book

The human brain – one of the most important topics in medicine and yet one of the most poorly understood by students...myself included! Fear not…help is on the way! This book is great for breaking down a complex topic into easily digestible chunks – to aid understanding and therefore learning. The book is well laid-out - using large, colour diagrams, tables and headings to break up the text and keep the reader’s attention. A wide variety of images including pathology specimens, line diagrams, and radiological investigations, make the subject come to life. The clinical context and neuro-dictionary at the end are particularly useful. This book will enable you to build a solid, core understanding of a hard subject and will serve you well as you continue to dip in and out of it throughout medical school and your professional careers.
