Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases or Neuroanatomy: Text and Atlas?

[Bubu91]

I'm starting neuroanatomy this sem and I was wondering if someone who checked both of these books could tell me if the basic theory covered in Neuroanatomy: Text and Atlas is as complete as in Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases? I know that the latter has a lot of clinical cases, but my class is focused exclusively on basic theory.

I heard many used HY neuro alongside with classes/step1 studying. I'm about to start neuro as well so maybe someone else can chime in.

Hi, all well? 🙂
I think Snell's neuroanatomy is ok, however, beside the textbook you shall take a look
to the youtube videos of the nervous system functioning; it's really cool & enjoyable & will make you well-oriented!
Just youtube any (neuro) topic you wanna cover e.g. how the brain works, the brainstem
Good luck 😎

The Blumenfeld book is one of the best books I've ever read. It alone will probably prepare you well for your class's exam. If you combine it with class notes or HY, you're pretty much set.

It's a very good read. LOTS of clinical correlations (which makes it relevant and makes you want to read more) and patient cases to solve through. We had a decent bit of "localize the lesion" type of questions on our final, so the book was really great for this. I think it covers the basic science of neuroanatomy really well too. It doesn't talk about clinical stuff while neglecting the anatomy. Rather, it teaches you the anatomy and then, reinforces it with clinical correlations and patient cases. Hope this helps.

I agree with this. If you think it's too clinical for your class you could just not read all the clinical cases.

so I guess Blumenfeld + HY = success in class and step1...
