What is the best comprehensive text (not review book) for m1 neuroanatomy and neuroscience? I find myself requiring something more extensive than the review book pages we have for our class. Ty...

Our course used the Mason book Medical Neurobiology (http://www.amazon.com/Medical-Neurobiology-Peggy-Mason-PhD/dp/0195339975/). The author was our professor so I'm sure that helped, but as someone with no knowledge of neuroscience beyond action potentials I thought it was a pretty good text. The figures are at times a little hard to read, but the text itself is very well done and is easy to understand. I read it from cover to cover over our course and was glad I did.

Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases by Blumenfeld is a good resource

Kandel. Go big or go home.

I cant think of many books that will cover both neuro anatomy and neurosciences well enough.
I have Thieme Head and Neuro Anatomy , it has some clinical neurology. But mostly anatomy.
What kind of neurosciences, it is so broad. If you mean all the pathways, areas, etc,etc. Thieme covers it well enough.

I thought the Haines atlas was perfect for neuroanatomy, but I majored in neuro so already had a bit of a background. Several of my classmates used Blumenfeld.

Neuroanatomy:
Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases by Blumfeld
Neuroanatomy: An Atlas of Structures, Sections, and Systems by Haines

+1 for Haines for anatomy. I'm in the neuro block right now, and, at least at my school, lectures + Haines + google are pretty sufficient for figuring out what's going on. We were told to use Waxman's Clinical Neuro, but I really only use it when I can't find something somewhere else (never). I'm glad I didn't pay for it 🙂

For self learning, I really like Sidman's: http://www.amazon.com/Sidmans-Neuroanatomy-Programmed-Learning-Lippincott/dp/0781765684/

It basically works you though learning the structures and their relationships. However, I also agree heartily with the post above that the Blumenfeld books is great for clinical correlations of anatomy. There is a lot of stuff there that if you get through you'll be able to localize like a neurologist. It has a lot of stuff about exam findings (including online video), some imaging, etc:

I agree Haines was great as an atlas, make sure you get the actual book because the pdfs i got had the brain slices shifted 180 and it was annoying rotating all those pictures.

Also there is a presentation out there for the Rule of 4s I think its called and thats perfect for brain stem. Other than that good luck LOL you'll need it.

for the actual neuroanatomy of the brain/spinal chord, Netter was more than enough for me.

for all the tracts, class notes and wikipedia were more than enough for me (and were more than enough to completely annotate neuro section of FA).

We all use Haines at my medical school, its pretty good I recommend it.
