Nervous System, Part 1: Anatomy and Physiology (Ciba Collection of Medical Illustrations, Volume 1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Frank Netter, MD's series of medical illustrations remain state of the art in the world of anatomy texts. Volume 1 (and Vol. 2) of the neuroanatomy series are no exception. With comprehensive text, bright, beautiful, full-color illustrations, these books literally captivate the reader-student, no mean feat with fundamentally boring material! Original anatomical drawings by Netter, in my opinion, are much better teaching aids than those derived from neuroimaging - which tend to be dark. Netter's sometimes cartoon-like and comical artwork is so "50's" - yet so well-done that they only seem dated in terms of non-essentials and really do not distract. I am somewhat a collector-lover of neuroanatomy texts (I teach the subject)and Netter's top the list. The illustrations also make outstanding slides for lectures(which can be purchased separately as a set from Novartis[Ciba-Geigy] or scanned-in from the text). These books are fabulous and are literally going to be collector's editions!

Medical Neurobiology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With a lot of enthusiasm I read the new Medical Neurobiology book and I really liked it. The book is clear, inquisitive and attractive by the way that presents the subjects. The shaded color boxes bring relevant clinical conditions, syndromes, common phenomenon that either we face them every day, or the doctors will meet them in the future. Phenomenon's that we really do not pay attention to mechanisms underline them. The Boxes enriches the text a lot. The sketches are clear and simple. The author took a new and different approach to teach first year medical student Neuroanatomy. Instead of describing pathways and regions in the nervous system the book uses a different approach by asking question and proposed explanations for neurological phenomenon. The new unique approach justifies the chosen title, Medical Neurobiology, which catalogued this book on a different niche from the traditional Neuroanatomy books. Soft cover as a textbook is preferred.Barr's The Human Nervous System: An Anatomical Viewpoint, Ninth Edition
