What are some good books for Neuroscience? Any good review books for M1?

There are a number of good neuroscience/neuroanatomy books--> I probably bought too many for my M1 neuroanatomy course, but the most helpful for me were:
-High Yield Neuroanatomy (for review the week before the exam, and Step1)
-Haines atlas (especially the last chapter with tracts)
-BRS neuroanatomy
-I used Nolte neuroanatomy as a textbook (ask your course director what book is recommended)
-course handouts

High-yield neuroanatomy is the highest ranked review book (by medical students).

you're really loving those review books aren't ya? 😉

to the OP, I'd second shelley's recommendation of HY neuro, it's a great addition. I've also heard about a case-study based introduction to neuro, which is highly regarded. I can't recall the name though. Best of luck!

HY Neuro-great for review only...hard to learn off it
Lange NeuroANATOMY was great for nailing the tracts.
Physio BRS/Costanza had a decent NeuroSCIENCE section
thalamus.wustl.edu was another great resource. Good for the basics.

With Neuro, try to learn the basics before jumping into the specifics. It is one of those courses that will easily overwhelm you, but if you take a systematic 'build a framework first' approach, it will be a very rewarding class.

I really liked Kandel's Principles of Neuroscience...it is long winded but great nonetheless...

great! thanks for the suggestions.

great! thanks for the suggestions.

If you are looking for a text book, Purves 3rd edition is excellent.

Definitely get a good atlas (Haines was decent), as for books I didnt get any review books but I like Blumenfeld's Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases. It's really cool and also has some good explanations of things and good figures.

Another vote for Blumenfeld's book. My school recommends a different text (Nadeau, which I find completely useless) but nearly every lecturer steals diagrams and figures from the Blumenfeld book. The clinical cases help cement the neuroanatomy as you are learning, and he also includes mnemonics that can help with memorizing.

I also have BRS Neuroanatomy, but I generally end up using Blumenfeld to learn the material and then reading my lecture notes to memorize my professors' useless add-ins.

+2 for blumenfeld...another good one is

for some reason not many people know about it.

If you don't want to buy an Atlas, get a copy of Sylvius 2.0 CD which normally comes with the Purves textbook. It's friggin great b/c you can traverse the CNS while highlighting certain sections and other tools. Only problem is that it doesn't have sections on Vasculature but maybe you could use reveiew books for that

👍

Dr Hal Blumenfeld, hands down. Clincal cases, top notch info for phys/neurology/anatmoy. How can you go wrong. I love this guy!! It was my favorite textbook for all my classes -
