Is it worth to buy the second edition of Blumenfeld Neuroanatomy?

[seasurfer]

I bought the first edition when I was a medical student (shamefully, I am yet to finish reading this book), now a neurology resident, do you guys think it is worth to get the second edition? Is the second edition updated with a lot more information? Please let me know what you guys think? Thanks.

Eh, anatomy doesn't change too much. Some of the correlates might have been expanded, but unless you're getting it for a deep discount or the department is getting it for you, I wouldn't bother.

Then again, I'm not really much of a textbook learner, so YMMV.

I believe the new edition has some different case studies otherwise it is the same. As mentioned above, anatomy doesn't change. I would say keep the old one. It's a great basic book. Used it last night to brush up on my aphasias after my transcortical motor admit. On the other hand, nighthawk read this left frontal as a parietal, maybe anatomy has changed! Ha.
