Comprehension of neuroanatomy and neurobiology are the most difficult tasks I had to face.

This book has really made it simpler for me and gave me the understanding I needed to excell this subject.
Although the embryology part wasn't enough for my course, the rest of the book was... more info
Look elsewhere...:
The diagrams and text seem disjointed. I grew weary after having to turn several pages before finding the diagrams referred to in the text. And after all of that flipping around for the diagrams, the diagrams themselves leave lots to be desired. This title is the required text for my neuroanatomy class, so I'm keeping it, but will look into others to supplement my studies.
Check out the 5th Ed, 4th Ed was terrible:
I'm in the middle of MS-II neuro and the 5th Ed, NOT the 4th, compares favorably with the popular Blumenfled text. I like Snell better because the images are a little simpler and it is more condensed. Clinical correlations at the end of each chapter are good and the questions are great. See what you think at the library first. Enjoi
Terrible diagrams:
The only good thing about this book is the clinical sections at the end of every chapter. There are better alternatives....
