Neuro sucks!

Any advice on a helpful book etc. that got you through? This is so much harder than anatomy. 🙁

Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple helped me a good bit. (I wish I'd bought it sooner - I love that series of books!) Check the bookstore at your school, chances are, they carry that series. The BRS is pretty good, too, but I personally haven't used the one for neuro.

I feel your pain. Good luck!

You might be able to find one of the "Made ridiculosly simple" books for neuro.

If the class is really difficult, then there's this book by this guy from Yale - Blumenfeld..I think it is called Clinical Anatomy Through Case studies..some name like that. It is expensive though so you might want to find one at your library.

Best of luck

You could also try Basic Clinical Neuroscience by Young & Young.

We are mainly using the class lectures and handouts but the textbook is Essential Neuroscience by Siegel & Sapru. I really like neuro and it seems like a large percentage of the class does, which reflects on the professors and docs that have been teaching it & making it contagiously cool & interesting.

Blumenfield's Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases was a book that I found particularly useful in Neuroanatomy and eventually on my neurology rotation. It's a larger book but it was the only one I needed to use; I didn't read it cover to cover, just looked up what I needed to larn.

High Yield Neuroscience. This little book was a gem. It's a quick read and had everything I needed to ace the course.

1st year neuro was brutal. i agree with the previous posters - neuro made ridiculously simple is a great book for pre-clinical neuro.

I also recommend that book.

Young and Young is definitely a great book. However I found that it was a little light in some of the details of some topics. To help fill in the gaps, I also read Steward's "Functional Neuroscience". Well, I havn't quite finished it yet, but almost there. It's a more dense read, but worth it if you can get through it. (note: most of my classmates get by fine just using class note and the syllabus, so perhaps I am unusual in trying to make time to get through the texts).

not a bad book...my recommendation is to stick to actual neuroscience books, not neuroanatomy. although there is some neuroanatomy on the shelf, it's much more focused on the science aspect of it through tracks, lesions and complications.

Blumenfeld taught me neuro. He should get my tuition money for that unit.
