How are the format and content of the Neuro review books different from each other? Ie. BRS vs. the High Yield one? I am interested in having any copy of the Neuroanatomy study material for my medical school education.Thank you.😉

Thanks for your question!

The biggest difference is the level of detail. BRS is more comprehensive at ~400 pages--it serves as a thorough review of the subject and is great for course study and exam prep. It includes over 570 USMLE-style questions with explanations. It's written in a very detailed outline format and includes online access to the fully searchable text. It also provides all the Q&A from the book online, so you practice in electronic format if you prefer. High-Yield, on the other hand, is much more succint and focuses on the most frequently tested material. At 160 pages, it is a really concise, uncluttered, outline format which makes it ideal for a last-minute review of a topic.

Thanks so much!

I would personally like to put a plug in for the Neuroanatomy atlas. As a student at the university where the author of the atlas is chairman of the Anatomy department, I have seen firsthand how good this book can be in effectively teaching clinically based Neuroanatomy. The book gives excellent diagrams that will really pay off on your Neurology rotation and on Step 1.

The neuro-atlas sounds wonderful. Any information that helps put the pieces together and show you the big picture is great.. I'll put this on my "to-buy" list.

The Barr's textbook is the one used by my neuroanatomy class for next year. I've heard great things about it.

What's the difference b/t the Barr's textbook and the Clinical Neuroanatomy? Is one more in depth than the other?

Is there any way we can sample some images of the atlas? I've heard good things about it, but I'd love to see any samples before I make a purchase in a few months.

What updates were made to the newest Edition of the HY book? Why should i buy this over lets say Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple by Goldberg?

 

[randomlogik]

Do any of your neuro books cover histology?

What's the difference b/t the Barr's textbook and the Clinical Neuroanatomy? Is one more in depth than the other?

In a nutshell, Barr's is a blend of neuroanatomy (structure) and neuroscience (function) with a few key Clinical Notes included.

Clinical Neuroanatomy includes more detailed coverage of anatomy and much more extensive background, separated out in shaded boxes, on how clinical conditions relate to structures.

Barr's would be most appropriate to a course of shorter duration that combines neuroscience and neuroanatomy, while Clinical Neuroanatomy is an excellent intro text for a more traditional neuroanatomy course in the medical curriculum.

The Neuroanatomy atlas is top notch. The professor who authored it is chair of our anatomy dept and he used the diagrams for the exams. It's easy to study and logically organized. The pathway diagrams are especially useful.

Do you think that the neuroatlas would be "overkill" for a first-year medical student to purchase?

How many USMLE-style questions does the high yield book have?
