Neuro!

So I'm a little weak in Neuro overall it seems. So far I've gone through Kaplan notes twice and FA neuro once. So I've got the major concepts down. And I've done a good portion of UWorld and Kaplan Qbank.

I just wanted to hear some thoughts about FA neuro as a whole. Is it sufficient and I just need to do another pass?

A lot of people consider it sort of lacking, especially on Neuro imaging, you may want to check out a source like HY Neuro or a decent path/anatomy source on this.

I found the first ~70 pages of HY Neuro second edition quite helpful. The latter part of the book is lower yield.

My friend has the newer, 4th edition, and I've spent ~30 minutes looking at it, and although it now has colored images and presents the info in a much cleaner way (kind of like FA2012 vs the earlier editions), I feel it's become increasingly low-yield. In other words, when I read the second edition, I thought it was very succinct and USMLE-relevant, but the 4th edition just seems to include a lot of additional info/diagrams that would be better for an undergrad neuro course, as opposed to actual USMLE prep. It doesn't cut to the chase as much as the second edition does.

Given you've already done Kaplan neuro and FA, you should be quick with HY Neuro. Spend a couple hours blasting through the initial images and text of the second edition (I got this on PDF from a friend, so it's probably available online somewhere).
